A

habitat selection

25
It is an organism’s natural home or environment.
habitat
26
This is important because it drives evolution by determining which individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to future generations.
selection
27
The primary mechanism of evolution in which individuals with traits that confer higher fitness in a given environment have a greater chance of survival and reproduction.
natural selection
28
Animals may select habitats based on environmental factors like temperature, humidity, precipitation, light levels, and substrate characteristics.
environmental condition
29
Animals often choose habitats that meet their specific reproductive needs, such as nesting sites, suitable mates, or specific environmental cues for breeding.
reproductive requirements
30
competition with other species or conspecifics can influence habitat selection. Animals may select habitats with fewer competitors or those that provide access to less crowded resources.
competition
31
Animals may opt for habitats that offer protection from predators or minimize their exposure to predation.
predation risk
32
Animals choose habitats that provide the necessary resources for their survival, such as food, water, shelter, and breeding sites.
Resource availability
33
It is a particular form of selection that occurs when individuals have differential reproductive success based on their ability to attract mates.
sexual selection
