| Migration | Migration is the movement of people, animals, or organisms from one place to another |
| Adaptation | An adaptation has three main meanings: a general change to fit new conditions, a biological trait that helps a species survive, or a creative work (such as a movie or play) based on another source |
| Habitat | A habitat is the natural environment or place where a plant, animal, or other organism lives, grows, and reproduces |
| Natural selection | Natural selection is a fundamental mechanism of evolution where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring |
| Hypothesis | A hypothesis is a tentative, testable, and falsifiable explanation for an observed phenomenon, event, or scientific question |
| Variation | A variation is the act, process, or result of changing, differing, or deviating from a standard, norm, or previous state |
| Species | A species is the fundamental unit of biological classification and taxonomic rank that groups organisms capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring |
| Evolve | To evolve means to change or develop gradually over time |
| Population | A population is the total number of people, animals, or items living or existing in a specific area, or the complete set of individuals studied in a scientific or statistical context |
| Predator | A population is the total number of people, animals, or items living or existing in a specific area, or the complete set of individuals studied in a scientific or statistical context |
| Prey | The term Prey most commonly refers to the acclaimed 2022 sci-fi action film, major video game releases, or a device-tracking software platform |
| Environment | An environment is the combination of all external conditions, circumstances, living organisms, and non-living elements that surround and influence a person, animal, plant, or system |
| Evolution | Evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms over successive generations |
| Decomposers | Decomposers are living organisms that break down dead plants, animals, and waste materials into simpler inorganic substances |
| Extinction | Extinction is the complete disappearance of a species or group of taxa when its last living member dies |
| Cimate | Climate is the long-term pattern of weather conditions in a specific region, typically averaged over a 30-year period |
| Hibernate | Hibernate most commonly refers to the Java ORM framework, a power-saving computer state, or a natural biological process |
| Blomes | Blomes is primarily the plural form of blome, which can mean a flower/blossom or a heavy chunk/lump of smelted or wrought iron |
| Fitness | Fitness (often called Darwinian fitness) measures an organism's ability to survive, find a mate, reproduce, and pass its genetic traits on to the next generation relative to other individuals in the population |
