The more advantageous trait the greater likelihood it becomes more common in the population. 
There is variation in traits and thus different abilities and success to survive in a particular habitat.
There is different success to reproduce and pass on genes/traits by heredity; i.e. sexual selection.
There is overproduction of offspring beyond what the environment can support.
Competition for limited resources in a habitat.
Environmental factors: changing climate, pollution, natural changes, diseases, fires, meteor strikes, new species entering habitat, volcanic eruptions, flooding, erosion, human caused changes, etc.]]> 2016-04-17 20:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106194721 robert_fiero https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106194754 Isolation (separation) of populations allows them to evolve differently with unique set of natural selection factors and genetic changes. If they become different enough to not reproduce they are considered to be separate species: Evolution has happened! It can be slow (gradualism) or rapid (punctuated equilibrium).
Basic Types of separation:
Geographic-no longer sharing the same habitat.
Genetic (reproductive change)
Use of habitat-using different parts of the same habitat or using it at different times. ]]> 2016-04-17 20:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106194754 robert_fiero https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106194771 Biography-Naturalist of the 1800's.

stability-species mostly unchanged thru generations.
change-slight species changes.
new species lineage-new branch on tree of life.
extinction-the end of a branch.]]> 2016-04-17 20:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106195854 robert_fiero https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106195868 mutation-A change in a DNA sequence. It is the ultimate source of genetic variation.
migration (gene flow)-is any movement of genes from one population to another as individuals move from one area to another. 
genetic drift-just by random chance (or accident, catastrophe,  etc.) some individuals do not survive and their genes/traits are not passed on.
sexual reproduction-can introduce new gene combinations into a population during meiosis (sex cell production and then combining during fertilization of two different genomes of two individuals.
Natural Selection-not all individuals survive and reproduce successfully in a population and thus do not pass on their genes/traits.  Only those who are successful will change the course of evolution of their species.]]> 2016-04-17 20:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106195868 robert_fiero https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106199251 When two or more species affect each others' evolution because they have close ecological relationship(s):
Predator-Prey
Parasite-Host
Mutualism-both benefit in cooperating.
Commensalism-one benefits and the other one is not harmed (neutral).
Pollinators-Plants
Competitors-organisms needing the same resource(s).]]> 2016-04-17 21:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/robert_fiero/n9biyw5syeer/wish/106199251
