The story of the flightless cormorant is quite interesting. This bird lives on the Galapagos Islands. It lost the ability to fly over time. Why? Well, on these islands, there were no large land predators for a long time. So, the cormorants that were not so good at flying but were better at swimming and fishing had an advantage. Through natural selection, the genes for flight became less important and eventually, this species became flightless. It's funny how the lack of a certain threat can lead to such a major change in a species' characteristics.
The story of the tuatara is also fascinating. Tuataras are these ancient reptiles. They have a unique third eye on the top of their heads. Although this third eye doesn't function like a normal eye, it was probably an adaptation from their ancestors. In their past environment, perhaps this third eye served some purpose, like detecting light levels or something similar. But as the environment changed over time, the importance of this third eye decreased. However, it still remains as a vestigial organ. It's a funny example of how natural selection can lead to the retention of some traits that were once useful but are now not as crucial.
The African elephant has a story related to natural selection too. Their large ears are not just for show. In the hot African savannah, the big ears help them regulate their body temperature. Elephants that had larger ears were more likely to survive in the hot climate as they could dissipate heat more effectively. Through natural selection, the trait of having large ears became more common in the African elephant population. It's an adaptation that has been crucial for their survival in their native habitat.
Sure. One funny story is about the giraffe. Long ago, there were giraffes with different neck lengths. Those with shorter necks couldn't reach the leaves on taller trees as easily during times when food was scarce on lower branches. So, over time, through natural selection, the giraffes with longer necks were more likely to survive and reproduce. Their long - necked genes were passed on, and now we have giraffes with their characteristic long necks.
Timing of intercourse is a key factor. As in the Shettles Method, having intercourse closer to ovulation may increase the likelihood of having a boy as male sperm are faster but die quicker, while female sperm are slower but more resilient. So if you time it right, it can influence gender.
The 'natural selection novel' might refer to a novel that involves the concept of natural selection. Natural selection is a fundamental concept in biology where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more. In a 'natural selection novel', this concept could be used in various ways, like showing how characters or species in the fictional world evolve over time based on their ability to adapt to different situations or challenges in the story's environment.
Natural selection is without a doubt a fact. Countless studies in genetics, ecology, and paleontology have demonstrated its occurrence and importance. It explains how species evolve and adapt to their environments to survive and reproduce.
In the 'Game of Thrones' universe, the power struggles and the ability of characters to outwit and outlast their opponents can be seen as a kind of natural selection. Those who are better at strategizing and forming alliances tend to survive and thrive.
No, natural selection isn't based on a story like you might think of in a fictional sense. It's a fundamental principle in biology that's supported by countless studies and observations of how species evolve and adapt over time.
A possible plot is that in an ocean ecosystem, there are different types of fish. Some are fast - swimming predators, and some are small, slow - moving fish that rely on hiding. However, a new species of large, slow - but - well - armored fish enters the area. This disrupts the natural selection game. The small fish now have to find new ways to hide from this new predator, and the existing predators have to decide whether to compete with this new fish for food or find other prey. Over time, the fish that adapt best, whether by changing their behavior or evolving physical traits, will be the ones that succeed in this natural selection game.

There's the story of the Galapagos finches. Different finch species on the Galapagos Islands have different beak shapes. Some have long, thin beaks for reaching into crevices to get insects, while others have short, thick beaks for cracking nuts. These differences evolved through natural selection. The finches that had beaks better suited to the available food sources in their specific habitats were more likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, this led to the development of distinct finch species with different beak morphologies.
