This success means, the researchers noted, that hybridisation could
have occurred many times in Darwin's finches in the past, resulting in
new species that either became extinct or evolved to become the species
we know today.
"A naturalist who came to Daphne Major without knowing that this
lineage arose very recently would have recognised this lineage as one of
the four species on the island," said Leif Andersson
of Uppsala University in Sweden, who conducted the genetic
analysis. "This clearly demonstrates the value of long-running field
studies."
Charles Darwin would have been delighted.
