Explanation / Answer

Answer: The minimum and maximum beak lengths are 8 and 18 respectively thus giving an average size of 12. In this regard, G. magnirostris eats the largest and most hardest seeds/fruits as compared to other finches. G. fortis thus eats medium size or small size fruits/seeds due to smaller beak size. Finally, such birds fall in the upper right quadrand of positive quantization on the population chart. Thus, the correct answers can be found as below:
