There is a population of birds with long beaks and short beaks. If the bugs that the birds usually eat adapt to burrow into the wood of trees, what will most likely happen to the birds over time?
Most of the birds will have long beaks. (Birds with long beaks will be able to survive, reproduce, and pass on their genes.)
