grow and reproduce over many seasons before death
stabilizing selection
Give this one a try later!
, form of natural selection by which the center of the curve
remains in its current position; occurs when individuals near
the center of a distribution curve have higher fitness than
individuals at either end
predation

the preying of one animal on others.
bergmann's rule
Give this one a try later!
the principle that an animal's size is heat-related; smaller bodies are
adapted to hot environments, and larger bodies are adapted to cold
environments.
dependent variable
Give this one a try later!
the outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to
manipulations of the independent variable. (y-axis)

why do high pressure systems form
Give this one a try later!
when the air mass above the Earth is denser than the surrounding areas; as
warm humid air spirals upwards it cools and clouds form
equilibrium theory of island biogeography
Give this one a try later!
a theory stating that the number of species on an island reflects a balance
between the colonization of new species and the extinction of existing
species

can an individual evolve

no, but a population can

where the sun rays are steeper it heats earths surface and then emits
infrared radiation to heat the air above it; warm air is less dense so it rises,
atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude; wind flow moves
from. high to low pressure and causes wind patterns (Coriollis effects);
warm water on the top causes upwelling
