#Section 2: Evolution
  1. During the drought of 1975-1978, the population decreased
  2. The average beak size of surviving individuals, and their progeny, increased significantly between 1976 and 1978
  3. During the exceedingly wet El niño year of 1983, birds with smaller beaks handled the abundant smaller seeds more efficiently and the average beak size of the population returned to a lower value

The treeʹs horizontal axis is a timeline that extends from 100,000 years ago to the present; the vertical axis represents nothing in particular. The labeled branch points on the tree (V—Z) represent various common ancestors. Letʹs say that only since 50,000 years ago has there been enough variation between the lineages depicted here to separate them into distinct species, and only the tips of the lineages on this tree represent distinct species.

According to this tree, what percent of the species seem to be extant (i.e., not extinct)?
