What is Biogeography? How Darwin’s finches provide biogeographical evidence in favor of evolution.
The branch of geography which deals with the study of the pattern of distribution of plants and animals is called Biogeography. Example: Galapagos islands- Charles Darwin during his voyage found that animals of these islands resemble those of South American islands. For example birds of Galapagos Island also known as Darwin’s finches do not resemble birds of South America therefore, he stated that finches were derived from ancestral stock that had emigrated from the mainland to the island and underwent profound changes under different environmental conditions.
