Conservation biology understand compact of human activities, preserve and restore material communities, reverse loss of biodiversity, foster sustainable use of resources. Chapter 14: the unifying theme of biology, contributors to evolutionary thinking (cuvier, darwin, lyell, lamarck, comte de buffon, theory of evolution- four postulates about populations. Individual members of a population differ from one another in many ways. At least some of these differences are due to heritable traits (can be passed from parent to offspring) In each generation, some individuals survive to reproduce and some do not. Individuals with advantageous traits survive longest and leave the most offspring: natural selection: evidence of evolution: fossils comparative anatomy, embryological similarities, biochemical and genetic analyses (including figures 14. 7, 14. 11, 14. Fossils provide evidence of evolutionary change over time. Comparative anatomy - evidence of descent with modification. Biochemical and genetic analyses reveal relatedness among diverse groups: homologous, analogous, and vestigial structures.
