Decomposers
A significant change in the environment that exerts selective pressure on a population, leading to favored traits being passed on to future generations through natural selection.
lower atmospheric pressure
The environment was different in the past and will change again in the future.
A change in the physical environment - a change in temperature or pressure
The need for a change itself. For example, the need to migrate in order to keep up with food sources would bring an organism into another territory that their bodies might not be adjusted to. Rather than dying off, the "fittest" organism of that breed might mate with another "fit" organism, and after - guessing - 20 generations or so, genetic changes will have made that territory the most suitable environment for that organism.
Yes. Evolution via punctuated equilibrium still depends on natural selection. In punctuated equilibrium there are long periods in which most species are well-suited to their environments, and so there is is little selective pressure to change. These periods are punctuated by times of more rapid environmental change and greater stress, which results in greater selective pressure for populations to change.
Pressure for stability originates within the organization

Selective pressure is any phenomena which alters the behavior and fitness of living organisms within a given environment. It is the driving force of evolution and natural selection, and it can be divided into two types of pressure: biotic or abiotic
Metamorphism is a PROCESS. metamorphism is the process of change that occurs to rocks when they are subject to heat, pressure or both.
The answer depends on whether the change in volume was for a gas or a solid!
They change their alleles ( different molecular forms of the same gene ) over time due to naturally selective forces, among others, to shape their morphology and behavior into new adaptions in the ever changing environment by just responding to the immediate environment.
