The best they can, if they manage. Many of them don't.
There is no " theory of evolution " as evolution is a fact. The theory is; the theory of evolution by natural selection and explains much about the fact of evolution. Charles Robert Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace come up with the theory of evolution by natural selection, though natural selection is a phrase coined by Darwin.
In this scenario, individuals with traits that help them better adapt to the challenges have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population through the process of natural selection, leading to a better fit between the organisms and their environment.
No, drywall is not a natural resource. Drywall is a building material made from gypsum, which is a naturally occurring mineral. The process of extracting and processing gypsum to make drywall involves human intervention and manufacturing.
Mutation, a copying error in the replication of DNA, can give rise to variation in an organisms phenotype and if this new phenotype is beneficial to survival and reproductive success ( as little as 1% ) it will be selected naturally against the immediate environment, then if this so selected organism leave many descendents with the same beneficial traits then the populations gene pool will change in allele frequency and you have evolution. ( a 19th century sentence Darwin would be proud of! )
No, many forms of natural selection have no connection to predation.
The theory of evolution by natural selection. Evolution is a fact explained by the theory. Short explanation. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying individuals.
NATURAL SELECTION --The process in nature by which, according to Darwin's theory of evolution ,the organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and transmit their genetic characteristics in increasing numbers to succeeding generations while those less adapted tend to be eliminated.ADAPTATION--In Biology, the process by which an animal or plant becomes fitted to its environment. It is the result of Natural selection acting on inherited variation. Even simple organisms must be adapted in many ways, including structure, physiology, and genetics; movement or dispersal; means of defense and attack; and reproduction and development. To be useful, adaptations must often occur simultaneously in different parts of the body.
Because natural selection only preserves incremental beneficial traits to the organism and many different areas of the organism are undergoing mutation and natural selection at the same time against the backdrop of the immediate environment. If a population of organisms, subject to allele change due to natural selection, is not in a changing environment, or split in a allopatric event, then adaptive change will be very slow, or will not happen at all and selection will winnow those variants and stabilizing selection is taking place. Regression to the mean of phenotype.

This is called, sexual selection.
A bird does not "actively" adapt its body. That is not how evolution works, a hummingbird's body is adapted to its environment over many generations by the process of natural selection (survival of the fittest).

The evolutionary theory is currently apprised of many different aspects. One of the biggest things is that evolution happens through natural selection and survival of the fittest.
Specation can be used in many ways.
Darwin claimed it was the process of natural selection that drove evolution. However this is incomplete, without both a process that creates variation and the process of natural selection evolution could not work. There are many processes that create variation (e.g. mutation, crossover, transformation, infection, conjugation, polyploidy).
