If the food type changes in a given environment, then the amount of each type of bird beak will change as birds with beaks more suited to the available food will consume more successfully over time. The independent variable of the lab is the type of food that is available to the birds. The dependent variable of the lab is the frequency of each type-size and shape-of beaks. The conclusion will state that favourable traits place one species in a more optimal position to survive in a given envronment.
