A population of hummingbirds is composed of individuals with short or long beaks, which they use to reach nectar inside flowers. A flowering trumpet vine that produces many deep, bell-shaped flowers is introduced to the region, resulting in fewer short-beaked and more long-beaked hummingbirds. Which of the following conditions most likely caused this shift in the hummingbird population?

Respuesta :

That is called adaptation, as the nectar is harder to reach the birds have to grow and adapt. Also it could be because the flowers they did get nectar from are gone and they have to get some from other flowers and to do that they have to have longer beaks to reach it. I hope that helped. 

the shift in the hummingbird population is an example of natural selection whereby organisms that are adapted to their environment survive.

What is adaptation?

Adaptation refers to the structural and behavoiral changes organisms develop or possess which makes them better suited to its environment.

The selection of humming birds with longer beaks as against those with shorter beaks was as a result of the nature of the food source.

Therefore, the shift in the hummingbird population is an example of natural selection whereby organisms that are adapted to their environment survive.
