Study Notes
Characteristics of Fitness
- Fitness is a measure of an individual's reproductive success.
- Fitness is often defined as the number of offspring an individual produces.
- Individuals with higher fitness are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Ecology
- Ecology is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment.
- Ecology is also the study of the factors that determine the distribution and abundance of organisms.
"Enquiry into plants"
- "Enquiry into plants" was written by Theophrastus.
- Theophrastus is considered the “Father of Botany” for his influential works on plant life.
Types of Selection
- Natural Selection is the process by which organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.
- Sexual Selection is the process by which organisms with traits that make them more attractive to mates are more likely to reproduce.
- Artificial Selection is the process by which humans selectively breed organisms for desired traits.
Ecology - Distribution and Abundance
- Ecology is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment.
- Ecology is also the study of the factors that determine the distribution and abundance of organisms.
- This includes studying the relationships between organisms and their physical environment, as well as the interactions between different species.
