A species' survival depends on it's ability to stay within the parameters set by external stimuli and biotic & abiotic factors.

The faster a species can adapt to stay within these parameters, the more effective it will be in that environment, and the better it's chance is for survival.

How is the process of survival of the fittest related to a populations environment?

People often think of evolution as what they call survival of the fittest. However, that means a fight among members of a species. This is not what is really meant. The 'fight' is with the environment and the species and not a fight of one individual with another. If the species has a way of best surviving what the environment throws at it, it will survive. Other species might not and will die out.


Contrast a population with a community?

Population: all of the induvisuals of one species that live in the same area at the same time Community: the populations of different species that interact in some way


What will most likely occur if two different plant species compete for same requirements in an ecosystem?

One species may be eliminated from that ecosystem.


What is the importance of evolution development?

Evolutionary development helps us understand how species have adapted and changed over time to survive in changing environments. It provides insight into the history of life on Earth and helps us make predictions about how species might change in the future. Studying evolution development also has practical applications in fields like medicine, agriculture, and conservation.


Suppose that a new species of insect were introduced to your area how might competition limit it's dispersal?

The new insect species may face competition for resources such as food, shelter, and mates with existing species in the area, limiting its dispersal. The established species might outcompete the new insect and prevent it from establishing populations in different habitats. Intraspecific competition among the new insect individuals themselves can also limit their dispersal to areas with more favorable conditions.

Can the speed of a change in the environment might affect whether or not a species becomes extinct?

If the species environment is not the way the species needs it to survive then the species will become extinct. for example, if doesn't have any trees, then it cant survive.


Will the human species ever go extinct by not adapting enough to survive?

Sure, they might.

Why might Introduced species have a good chance to survive?

If there are few natural predators, and a ready supply of food.


How might adaptations help species survive?

Adaptation is how creatures respond to environmental changes, whether that be in their habitat, or in their predators or prey. Adapting will help them survive better.


How might producing offsprings with a wide variety of variations help a species to survive?

The animals with the abilities that will help them to survive better than those without the same abilities will likely survive longer and will not be killed by predators. Those animals will live on and give their children the same abilities to survive, helping the species to adapt to a hostile environment.

Where in Germany can you get a signature guarantee?

The town administrative office (Amt für offentliche Ordnung) might be able to do this for a small fee. Otherwise, look for bank affiliate branches of U.S. banks who are members in the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program: http://www.sec.gov/answers/sigguar.htm


Why is variation important to survival of a species?

Hats off to Sir Charles Darwin for his theory of evolution! Variations are very important to species. Some of the variations are more suitable for the species to survive. You get new species with time by selection of the better ones.


What might humans do to increase the earth carrying for all species?

Humans need to maintain enough space and resources to increase the earth's capacity for all species. They have to make sure that they and other people have enough to survive.
