Scientists studying kingfisher birds in the South Pacific discovered that there are three subspecies that live on the mainland of Papua New Guinea. These three subspecies can interbreed and are nearly indistinguishable from one another. The kingfishers are found in a variety of environments on the mainland, including rain forest and forests that have extended dry seasons. However, on smaller islands not far from the mainland, many more species of kingfishers exist, and each species is considerably different from one another. The environment on these smaller islands is very similar to that on the mainland. Which model is an accurate representation of the evolution of kingfishers in the South Pacific, and which piece of evidence best supports this model? Use the drop-down menus to complete your answer. Model A Model B Common Ancestor Ancestor Ancestor 2 The evolution of kingfishers is best represented by and this is supported by Time Time
