Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72506281 Bigger fish eating smaller fish destroyed the fossils necessary to prove that all fish species are as ancient as sharks. See how that works?

The most feared and panic-causing insect in New York isn't the cockroach--it's the bedbug. In the late 1990s, after a half-century of "relative inactivity," as we noted back in May, the bedbug suddenly reappeared, stronger than ever. Turns out the bedbug had evolved in ways that make it much harder to eradicate, including a thick, waxlike exoskeleton that repels pesticides, a faster metabolism to create more of the bedbug's natural chemical defenses, and dominant mutations to block search-and-destroy pyrethroids. You almost have to admire the little monsters. [link to www.popsci.com (secure)] |

Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each individual organism, that is maintained and has been evolved by natural selection. I gave you a link to fish that recently adapted/evolved too. |
