A ground-breaking investigation on the most recent evolutionary change in natural populations has been published by an international team of academics. Nearly 4,000 Darwin's finches make up one of the largest genomic datasets yet created for animals living in their natural habitat, which is used in this work. The study has identified the genetic underpinnings of adaption in this famous population. The journal Science has published the findings.
