Evolution Lab The finches on Darwin and Wallace Islands feed on seeds produced by plants growing on these islands. There are three categories of seeds: soft seeds‚ produced by plants that do well under wet conditions; seeds that are intermediate in hardness‚ produced by plants that do best under moderate precipitation; and hard seeds‚ produced by plants that dominate in drought conditions. Evolution Lab is based on a model for the evolution of quantitative traits–characteristics of an individual
