Apopulation of hummingbirds feeds exclusively on nectar from orchids. two species of orchids exist in the hummingbirds' habitat. one orchid species has long tubes to store nectar while the other has short tubes to store nectar. the hummingbirds have a range of beak lengths, and the beak length determines which nectar tube an individual can feed from. this population of hummingbirds is splitting into two phenotypic groups. what scenario best explains why the population is diverging?

Which type of stimulus do mechanoreceptors detect? sound pain heat light

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
