A recent study has revealed the existence of an avian supergene that may help explain a long-standing evolutionary paradox. The paradox, known as the “paradox of the plankton,” questions how highly specialized species can persist in an environment that is constantly changing. By studying a species of finch in the Galapagos Islands, researchers have discovered a gene that is responsible for the finch’s ability to adapt quickly to changing environments. This gene, dubbed the “supergene”, is believed to be a key factor in the finch’s ability to survive a variety of environments.
