Charles Darwin (February 12, 1809 – April 19, 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist best known for developing the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection

Migration is the movement of people, animals, or things from one place to another

Adaptation is the act or process of changing to fit new conditions, environments, or challenges, or something created by making that change,

A habitat is the natural environment where a plant, animal, or other organism lives, grows, and reproduces

natural selection is the evolutionary process where organisms with traits better suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully, passing those advantageous traits on to future generations

a proposed, testable, and falsifiable explanation or prediction for an observation, phenomenon, or research question.

Prey is an animal that is hunted, caught, and killed for food by another animal (a predator)

An environment is 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

Envolution is the evolution or development of functional complexity

organisms that break down dead plants, animal carcasses, and organic waste into simpler inorganic substances like water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
