Mutations

Organism: Micronesian Honeyeater
(Micronesian Myzomela)

I imagine the honeyeater to have larger talons in order for it to capture larger prey. This mutation would help the honeyeater to expand its food selection range from nectar and small insects.
The insects located around its habitat might decrease because of the mutation.
The mutation was selected for the honeyeater's chance at a larger population. If this happens, there is a high possibility that the honeyeater will pollinate more areas around the CNMI.
