Glossary of "Ecology (6th ed.)" by Krebs (2009)
- the process in nature by which only the organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and transmit their genetic characteristics to succeeding generations while those less adapted tend to be eliminated.
Glossary of "Life (9th ed.)" by Sadava et al. (2011)
- The differential contribution of offspring to the next generation by various genetic types belonging to the same population. The mechanism of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin.
Glossary of "Ancestors in Our Genome" by Harris (2015)
