Discover how evolution remains an ongoing process, with natural selection and genetic variation driving adaptation. Compare evidence across scales to see how unity and diversity arise from …

The mechanism that Darwin proposed for evolution is natural selection. Because resources are limited in nature, organisms with heritable traits that favor survival and reproduction will tend to …

Explore the fascinating concept of natural selection, a key driver of evolution. Learn how advantageous traits increase survival and reproduction chances, leading to population …

Natural selection is the impact of the natural environment on a population of organisms. Over a single or a few generations the effect is going to be small but the effect builds up over many …

And that's where natural selection comes into the picture. So let's imagine a population, and I'm gonna think about a very abstract population of these little circle-shaped things.

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution and explains how species adapt to their environment over time through variations in traits. Examples include the peppered moth …
