There are two different species of finch that live on the same small island, species A and

species B. Both species successfully feed and reproduce on the island. Species A nests in

pine trees and eats large seeds. Species B nests in hollowed-out dead logs and eats small

insects.

The factor most often acting as a selecting agent for the survival of a species in a particular location is the

(1) strength of the organism (3) speed of the organism

(2) new mutations within the individual (4) environment they inhabit

    I would say either 2 or 4, but 4 is more likely. New mutations can cause the finch to be able to eat larger seeds, or it can cause it to not be able to eat large things. The environment can also be a big factor. Finches living in the trees are closer to the seeds and the finches living in the logs are closer to the insects.

    Hope this is clear enough.
