    successfully survive in their environment. To test the theory of natural selection theory through means of prey and predation‚ we will brooch the specific trait of camouflage. That is‚ if the color of the prey is not consistent with the natural habitat‚ than the prey will experience increased selection pressure; effectively decreasing the chance of surviving natural selection or predation. Materials and Methods To test our hypothesis we conducted an experiment utilizing a piece of multi-colored

    Green Foxtail: Some limiting factors for a green foxtail might be competition for resources‚ predation‚ lack of moisture‚ and any occurring natural disaster. The green foxtail would experience a competition of resources because the area in which it is located is very small‚ but has a lot of plants‚ meaning that the green foxtail does not have an area to itself. Furthermore‚ because of how it is located in a small area‚ bordered by a path‚ its seeds do not have a high possibility of traveling far

    species along side impractical and idealistic evaluations of human predation renders Martin’s theory into the realm of ambiguity. In specific‚ Martin alludes to the extinction of flightless birds and land snails caused by the spread of humanity to islands of the remote Pacific in order to exhibit the plausibility of the ‘overkill’ theory. Through this example‚ Martin attempts to draw a parallel between the role of human predation in the extinction of species pertaining to the Pacific islands and

    limited supply (Jarman-Bell principle). Because of this sparse supply‚ territorially they can expand into other regions to find these limited fruits; however‚ smaller groups sizes make them susceptible to predation pressures‚ as they are smaller species that travel in smaller groups. Due to predation pressures‚ we would see precautions in territorial affairs and altruistic behaviors‚ utilizing signals to protect and benefit their families. With smaller groups we see intersexual selection as a mating

    and other distinguished behavior patterns. A species habitat plays the key role in its life; it’s a determinant in its sexual selection‚ distribution and overall behavior. Guppies that are in their natural habitats must adapt to outside threats of predation‚ drought and other variables that may impact their mating or food source. Our experiment tested a total of 25 guppies‚ each being taken from a heavily populated atmosphere and placed into two separate tanks where it was the only occupant. Would it

    and shell shape. The purpose of the experiment is to understand the process of evolution and natural selection on organisms and why they occur; understanding the importance. By doing the experiment I hope to explore the effects of predation on a population‚ how predation influences evolution / interferes with natural selection‚ the effects of the introduction of a non-native species on populations‚ and how evolution and natural selection is affected by non-native species. I expect to find that the

    Male Guppies live under the hammer of both predation (natural selection) and female choice (sexual selection). Each selection force opposes the other. On one hand‚ females tend to choose the brighter male with more conspicuous colouration due to the similarities between bright orange and iridescent colours and the ripped fruit that they consume‚ brighter colours underline what scientist called good genes it might also mean high resistance to parasites and other pathogens.

    Biology 301 12/3/2012 The Effects of Relative Fitness of Drosophila Melanogaster on Evolution Abstract This experiment was conducted to study the relative fitness of two phenotypes of the Drosophila melanogaster and how fitness can affect evolution in the population. The phenotypes were placed in two different environments‚ one in which contained a predator and another with no predator. Results of the experiment would show how the fitness of each phenotype is affected by providing a mechanism
