Based on Darwin's ideas of descent with modification and natural selection, observation would best support the idea increased competition causes changes in a species ? A population of rattlesnake goes extinct as the water resources in their environment dry up during an extreme, prolonged drought A population of frogs develop greener skin after a hurricane blows away the white flowers the environment A population of artic foxes develop a brown fur color as warmer temperatures reduce the number of days of snowfall in the area A population deer show an increase in antler size over time, which allows them to obtain more mates during mating season

Ecological Interactions

The study of the ecological interactions between living beings and their physical environment, including humans, is ecology. It aims to understand the crucial links between plants and animals and the world around them. Ecology also gives knowledge on the advantages of ecosystems and how we may use Earth resources to ensure that future generations have a healthy environment.
