a change or adjustment that helps a living thing, a piece of writing, or a process fit better into its environment or new medium

the natural environment where a plant, animal, or organism lives

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 or change gradually over time,

current world population is approximately 8.3 billion people

the classic 1987 science-fiction action film

to address God or a higher spiritual power with adoration, confession, thanksgiving, or earnest requests, or to hope deeply for a specific outcome

the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions, and influences that affect the growth, health, and survival of a living organism or system

the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations

are organisms that break down dead organic matter—such as fallen leaves, animal carcasses, and feces—into simpler, inorganic substances.

the complete disappearance of a species when its last living member dies or loses the capacity to reproduce

the long-term pattern of weather conditions in a specific region, typically averaged over a period of 30 years.

to spend a period in a state of graetly reduced activity and energy use

a large, naturally occurring community of flora and fauna filling a major habitat

is a state of health and well-being that allows you to perform daily activities, sports, and occupations efficiently without excessive fatigue.
