A group of populations that are separated by space but consist of the same species. These separated populations interact as individual members.
Acquisition of knowledge that leads an organism to act a certain way.
An event which is closest to, or immediately responsible for causing, some observed result.
The "real" reason something occurred.
A group or organisms of the same kind living in the same place
High fecundity, small body size, unstable environment, dependant offspring, short life cycle, early maturity - small, reproduce fast, plants, bacteria, insects
An instinct of an organisms to behave a certain way
Actual reproductive rate of organism or population, measured by the number of gametes (eggs), seed set, or asexual reproductive structures
