Clip Bird Evolution: Survival of the Fittest in West and East Clipland

Explore the evolution of Clip birds in West and East Clipland as they adapt to different food values and feeding frenzies. Discover how genetic variation and advantageous adaptations influence their likelihood of survival and reproduction. Witness if these populations will speciate due to reproductive isolation. Can you help the Clip birds thrive in this evolutionary journey?

  1. The Clip birds West Clipland East Clipland

  2. Lesson Concepts: • Evolution results from selection acting upon genetic variation within a population. • Adaptations often persist in a population because they are in some way advantageous. • Inherited characteristics affect the likelihood of an organism’s survival and reproduction. • Evolution acts on what exists. • The proportion of individuals with advantageous characteristics may increase due to their increased likelihood of surviving and reproducing. • Speciation requires reproductive isolation.

  3. Clipbird Populations West Clipland East Clipland

  4. Food Values in Megacalories Megacalories Needed

  5. Feeding frenzy.......... • 30 seconds to eat all you can • No shovelling or scraping.... Nice table manners please • You have three seasons foraging • Will you eat enough to survive? • Will you eat enough to reproduce?

  6. Conclusion – will the Clip birds speciate? West Clipland East Clipland
