Environmental factors influence survival rates from "summary" of The Origin of Species (Deluxe Library Binding) (Annotated) by Charles Darwin
In the struggle for existence, the environment plays a crucial role in determining the survival rates of individuals within a species. This is because environmental factors such as climate, food availability, predators, and competitors directly impact the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. For example, in regions with harsh climates, only individuals with adaptations that allow them to withstand extreme temperatures or limited food resources will be able to survive and pass on their genes to the next ge...
