morphological evolution

Morphological evolution refers to the changes in the shapes and structures of organisms over time. These changes occur through the process of evolution, where species adapt to their environments, leading to physical variations. For example, the beaks of finches vary based on the food available on different islands. Such adaptations improve survival and reproduction, causing certain traits to be passed on to future generations. Over long periods, these accumulated changes can result in entirely new species, showcasing the diversity of life and how organisms evolve in response to their surroundings.
