Cycles
Energy growth in biological systems refers to how organisms obtain and utilize energy to grow, reproduce, and survive. Evolutionary aspects emphasize how species adapt their energy acquisition strategies—such as photosynthesis in plants or predation in animals—over time to enhance fitness in changing environments. Ecological perspectives consider how energy flows through ecosystems, impacting community dynamics, food webs, and nutrient cycling. Together, these concepts illustrate the interconnectedness of energy use, evolutionary adaptations, and ecological interactions in shaping biological diversity.
The term "missing link" is often used in evolutionary biology to refer to a hypothetical ancestral species that fills the gap between different evolutionary stages. It is commonly used to describe a transitional fossil that would provide evidence for the evolutionary relationship between two different species.

ecological
A biological metaphor is a figure of speech that uses concepts and language from the field of biology to explain or describe something in a different context. For example, comparing the growth of an idea to the process of cellular division.

The ecological perspective uses ecological concepts from biology as a metaphor with which to describe the reprocity between persons and their environments...attention is on the goodness of fit between an individual or group and the places in which they live out their lives"(Sands, 2001).
