Predation causes traits that enable prey to evade predators to be favoured in the population gene pool.
evolution
To prevent other organisms from predation, the prey adopt morphological and behavioral defenses such as odor.
My favourite example of evolution is the development of multicellular organisms (this has also been observed). A kind of eukaryotic cell once started to bind to its fellow cells in order to make it more difficult for predators to kill them. This is an example of evolution as a result of predation, a selective agent.
Ozone layer helps the evolution by protecting the living organisms. The UV could cause destruction but it protects it/
Poorly adapted organisms are more vulnerable to predation. This is one of the means by which they fail to survive as well as better adapted organisms.

Predation: a biological interaction in which a predator feeds on its prey
Organisms can interact through competition for resources, such as food or territory. They can also interact through predation, where one organism consumes another for energy. Lastly, organisms can engage in mutualistic relationships, where both benefit from the interaction such as in the case of pollination between flowers and bees.
Predation and competition are both interactions between organisms, but they are not the same. Predation involves one organism consuming another for nutrition, while competition occurs when organisms vie for limited resources like food, water, or territory within the same ecological community.
Competition, symbiosis, and predation
Competition, symbiosis, and predation
Living organisms face environmental pressures such as competition for resources, predation, disease, and changes in climate. These pressures drive evolution by selecting for individuals with advantageous traits that increase their chances of survival and reproduction. Organisms must adapt to these pressures in order to thrive in their environment.
