Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: The Galápagos archipelago is situated approximately 1,000 km from the coast of Ecuador and consists of 13 main islands and numerous smaller islets in the Pacific Ocean. The islands arose from repeated volcanic activity and are relatively young in geological terms, ranging from around 0.5 to 4 million years old. The heterogeneity of ecosystems within and across these islands, as well as their remote geographic isolation, led to the evolution of unique endemic fauna and flora. The biodiversity of the Galápagos islands showcases classic examples of adaptive radiation mechanisms, where a single ancestral species diversified into a variety of forms to survive in different ecological niches. For this reason, the Galápagos and other oceanic islands are referred to as natural laboratories of evolution.
