A process of change in species over time is also referred to as?
evolution
How do helpful variation accumulate in a species over time?
Helpful variations accumulate in a species over time by selecting those traits that allow it to better live in the environment it is in.
This is some barrier to reproduction among a species of organisms It often results in genetic change over time and the development of new species?
reproductive isolation
What is the process by which of the best suited individuals can survive in their environment?
In science, this sometimes called the survival of the fittest or natural selection.If all individuals in a species are not exactly clones of each other but have small variations in the genes (traits), some will do better when the environment changes. These traits will be 'favored' over other traits.
Ecological succession?
Living organisms slowly modify the evironment
What factors affect the survival and change of a species over time?
Adaptation is the main factor in ensuring a species survival. Part of that adaptation may mean evolutionary changes, as newer, more adaptable members of a species become dominate.

Which best describe Darwin theory of evolution?
Species can adapt to their environment over long periods of time. over a very long period of time, the traits of a species can change. -apex :)
What is a change of a species over time called?
Evolution is a change in species over time.
How a specie can change over time?
accumulation of variations and natural selection, i.e. survival of the fittest also speciation (creation of a new species due to reproductive isolation)
Do species always change over time?
Species not always change over time such sponges :D
What are the importance of evolution in the management of resources?
Evolution adapts organisms via their dna and genes over periods of time for different circumstances. Survival of the fittest keeps the fittest members of a species alive to reproduce and pass on the genes that made them survive and over time the genes of the species will change to be able to survive better. So the ancestral species could go extinct so fish could into species intelligent enough to avoid nets and hook/lures and over time we won't be able to catch them and will need to move on.
Why must there be variations in the population in order for natural selection to occur?
Natural selection works via a simple mechanism: certain organisms, though mutation, will be better-equipped for survival than others of their species. Over time, the better-adapted organisms will have a higher survival rate and, through interbreeding and simply outliving the competition, will eventually replace them. If there was no variation (mutation) in the population, there would be no better-adapted individuals, and no change. This has been the case with some species. Alligators, for example, have been around virtually unchanged (except for size) for nearly 100 million years. They are well-adapted adapted for survival in their environment as it is, and thus there is really no need for improvements that would lead to major evolutionary change.
What do scientists call the change in species over long periods of time?
Evolution is the change in species over long periods of time.
What is gradual change in a species over time called?
A gradual change in life-forms over time is organic evolution.
What is the gradual change in a species over time is called?
Adaptation is when a species is able to change over time to new changes in their environment.
If species didn't change what type of fossils would we see?
If there was no change in species over time, then all fossils of that species would be identical.
