Answer 2

The finches evolved to have different beak shapes to be able to eat the food available on the different islands.

If one species is removed then the resources will be more abundant for the other two species.

What will happen if 3rd species is removed?

If the third species is removed from the area then seeds and fruits will be more available for the one and second species.

Because the third species is eating both seeds and fruits in equal preference if they are removed then these resources will be available in more abundant for the other two species.
