Diversity is the number of different role players (species) in an area. I like to think of diversity in the form of niches. The number of niches being filled in an ecosystem is directly related to the diversity.

What terms describes natural selection that acts against intermediate forms of a polygenic trait to increase genetic variation while not changing the average value of a trait within?

Disruptive selection


Is natural selection same as survival of the fittest?

According to evolutionary theory, natural selection is the principle that directs evolution.


All of these terms EXCEPT contribute to natural selection?

Genetic drift, as it is a random process that does not necessarily contribute to the differential survival and reproduction of individuals. Variation, heritability, and differential reproductive success are essential components of natural selection.

The psychological perspective that describes behavior in terms of what best suits an organism for successful reproduction and survival is?

Evolutionary psychology is the perspective that describes behavior in terms of what best suits an organism for successful reproduction and survival. It focuses on how natural selection has shaped human behavior in order to enhance evolutionary fitness.


What is another terms for survival of the fittest?

Natural selection. A much more accurate term.


What are the criteria of success in terms of evolution by natural selection?

Success in terms of evolution by natural selection is typically measured by an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. Traits that enhance an organism's chances of survival and reproduction are favored by natural selection, leading to their increased frequency in a population over generations. Ultimately, success in evolution is defined by passing on genetic material to future generations.


How was Darwin's theory tranalated into a theory about economic success?

It wasn't! The theory of evolution by natural selection has nothing to do with social Darwinism and to posit such a connection is ill posed. The theory of evolution by natural selection is about individual selection of organisms and has nothing to do with group to group success in economic terms.


How did Darwin explain the patterns of distribution of plants and animals?

He explained them in terms of descent with modification, common descent and natural selection.


What is Darwinian?

Darwinian evolution is descent with modification and natural selection, or, in other terms, reproductive variation and differential reproductive success.


What is natural selection and how does it work in simple terms?

Natural selection is a process where organisms that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to their offspring. Over time, this leads to the evolution of species that are better suited to their surroundings.


What is Darwinian evolution?

Darwinian evolution is descent with modification and natural selection, or, in other terms, reproductive variation and differential reproductive success.
