Ments because individuals typically vary in genetic makeup, size, health, or other characteristics—and because accidents sometimes disrupt a couple of replicates. By exposing multiple subjects to both treatments, we can compare the average result of the experimental treatment with the average result of the control treatment, giving us more confidence in the overall result.
The same practice is still used today to increase the frequency of desired traits in tomatoes, dogs, and other domesticated plants and animals. Darwin called this practice artificial selection. He termed the equivalent process that occurs in nature natural selection. In 1858, Darwin and Wallace formally summarized their observations and conclusions explaining biological evolution. 2 Biological Evolution Darwin and Wallace Explained How Populations of Organisms Change through Time How do evolutionary changes take place?
In this illustration, the sun provides energy to grasses (producers); the zebras (consumers) then feed on the grasses before being eaten by a lion (another consumer); and fungi (decomposers) absorb nutrients and energy from the digestive wastes of animals and from the remains of dead animals and plants. All of the energy that enters an ecosystem is ultimately lost from the system as heat. Nutrients move through the same pathways, but they are conserved and recycled.
