• W2042780493 abstract "(1) We report some effects of an annually variable and unpredictable rainfall upon Darwin's Finches on the Galápagos. Finch numbers, foraging and food supply were studied on I. Daphne Major in December of 1973 and 1977, and compared. 1973 was the second of two successive wet years and 1977 was a drought year. (2) Seed numbers and biomass were approximately one order of magnitude lower in the drought year than in the wet year. Small and soft seeds were absolutely and relatively rarer in the drought year than in the wet year. (3) Similarly finch numbers and biomass were approximately one order of magnitude lower in the drought year than in the wet year. Numbers of G. scandens declined less than did number of G. fortis. Both species exhibited unabalaced sex ratios, in favour of males, in the dry year in contrast to balanced sex ratios in the wet year. Male scandens were heavier on average in the wet year, but male fortis were heavier in the dry year. (4) The foraging of scandens, a cactus (Opuntia) specialist, was similar in the two years. The foraging of fortis in the dry year differed from foraging in the wet year in three important respects: fortis devoted a disproportionate amount of time to feeding on small seeds while tending to avoid seeds of Opuntia, they fed more on floral and extra-floral parts of Opuntia and they fed on Tribulus cistoides, a large and hard fruit which was absent from their diet in the wet year. As a consequence of feeding more on Opuntia, fortis foraging was more similar to scandens foraging in the dry year than in the wet year. (5) The results are discussed in relation to expectations from competition theory. The decline in numbers in relation to a decline in food supply was expected, but a convergence in diets was not. The convergence is attributed to the recent renewal of a single resource, Opuntia flowers, against a background of general resource scarcity. Diet overlap and limitation of numbers by food provide indirect evidence of interspecific competition; scandens, with an included niche, was competitively superior to fortis." @default.
