Key Concepts

Competition

In evolutionary biology, competition refers to the interaction among individuals or groups over limited resources such as food, space, and mates, which can influence survival and reproductive success.

Fitness

Fitness is a measure of an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment; individuals with higher fitness are more likely to pass on their genes, influencing evolutionary change.

Adaptation

Adaptation is the process by which organisms evolve traits that enhance their survival and reproductive prospects in specific environmental conditions, typically through the mechanism of natural selection.

Common Ancestry

Common ancestry is the foundational concept that all living organisms are related through descent from shared ancestors, which is evidenced by similarities in genetic material and morphological characteristics across diverse species.
