the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in their observable traits and genetic makeup

a proposed, testable explanation for a phenomenon, observation, or research question that has not yet been proven

any change, difference, or deviation in condition, amount, level, form, or standard from a norm

the basic unit of biological classification and the lowest major taxonomic rank in the Linnaean hierarchy

to develop, change, or grow gradually over time, often moving from a simpler state to a more complex, advanced, or better-adapted form

the total number of people, animals, or living organisms inhabiting a specific geographic area or region at a given time

an organism that naturally hunts, kills, and consumes other organisms (its prey) for food

an animal that is hunted, caught, and killed for food by another animal

the set of physical, chemical, biological, social, or cultural conditions and surroundings that affect the growth, health, development, and survival of a living organism or system

a gradual process of change, development, or growth from one state to another over time

living organisms that break down dead plants, animals, and waste materials into simple nutrients

the state or process in which a group, species, language, or physical phenomenon no longer exists anywhere on Earth

the long-term pattern of atmospheric conditions—including temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and sunshine—typically averaged over a 30-year period

to spend the winter in a deep, sleep-like state of inactivity to survive cold weather and food shortages

a large, distinct geographical region defined by its specific climate, soil, vegetation, and animal life

the condition of being physically strong and healthy, or the quality of being suitable and qualified for a specific task or role
