Adaptation
In biology, adaptation has three related meanings. Adaptive type and adaptation are evolutionary biology.
See Adaptive type and Adaptation
Adaptive radiation
In evolutionary biology, adaptive radiation is a process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available, alters biotic interactions or opens new environmental niches.
See Adaptive type and Adaptive radiation
Culture
Culture is a concept that encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups.
Ecological niche
In ecology, a niche is the match of a species to a specific environmental condition.
See Adaptive type and Ecological niche
Evolution
Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Adaptive type and Evolution are evolutionary biology.
See Adaptive type and Evolution
Evolutionary biology
Evolutionary biology is the subfield of biology that studies the evolutionary processes (natural selection, common descent, speciation) that produced the diversity of life on Earth.
See Adaptive type and Evolutionary biology
Feature
Feature may refer to.
Genetics
Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.
See Adaptive type and Genetics
Human
Humans (Homo sapiens, meaning "thinking man") or modern humans are the most common and widespread species of primate, and the last surviving species of the genus Homo.
Life
Life is a quality that distinguishes matter that has biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from matter that does not.
Nature
Nature is an inherent character or constitution, particularly of the ecosphere or the universe as a whole.
Order (biology)
Order (ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.
See Adaptive type and Order (biology)
Organism
An organism is defined in a medical dictionary as any living thing that functions as an individual.
See Adaptive type and Organism
Orthogenesis
Orthogenesis, also known as orthogenetic evolution, progressive evolution, evolutionary progress, or progressionism, is an obsolete biological hypothesis that organisms have an innate tendency to evolve in a definite direction towards some goal (teleology) due to some internal mechanism or "driving force".
See Adaptive type and Orthogenesis
Population
Population is the term typically used to refer to the number of people in a single area.
See Adaptive type and Population
Population genetics
Population genetics is a subfield of genetics that deals with genetic differences within and among populations, and is a part of evolutionary biology. Adaptive type and population genetics are evolutionary biology.
See Adaptive type and Population genetics
Primate
Primates is an order of mammals, which is further divided into the strepsirrhines, which include lemurs, galagos, and lorisids; and the haplorhines, which include tarsiers; and the simians, which include monkeys and apes.
Property
Property is a system of rights that gives people legal control of valuable things, and also refers to the valuable things themselves.
See Adaptive type and Property
Speciation
Speciation is the evolutionary process by which populations evolve to become distinct species. Adaptive type and Speciation are evolutionary biology.
See Adaptive type and Speciation
Taxon
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from taxonomy;: taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.
Type (biology)
In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated.
