The system may be of particular value as climate change and rising sea levels pose additional challenges to vulnerable shorelines around the world, ...

In this species, larger beaks dominated the population after dry years when large seeds were more abundant. After wet years, the direction of natural selection reversed, favoring smaller beaks that ...
