By writing a book that proposed human suffering and death from starvation because the population of humans went up exponentially but the supply of food goes up arithmetically. Darwin took this idea as an insight. He figured that populations of organisms produced far more progeny then the environment could supply with resources. So a selective process would be put in place. The fitter organisms would survive and reproduce while this much less fit would lose the struggle for existence.

What is malthus theory on evolution?

I'm not sure Thomas Malthus had any theory pertaining to "evolution," strictly. Malthus was rather the prophet of "overpopulation." He put forward the idea that, if human populations kept reproducing, eventually we would crowd the world and create an ecological disaster.

How might factors operating on organisms in nature differ from those of malthus's theory?

Malthus's theory primarily focuses on the idea that population growth will outstrip the means of subsistence, leading to competition for resources. In nature, factors acting on organisms include predation, disease, and environmental conditions in addition to competition for resources. These factors in nature are often more complex and interconnected than the simplified model presented in Malthus's theory.
