Following general conditions are necessary for natural selection to occur in population:
- More organisms are born than can survive.
- Organisms vary in their characteristics, even within a species.
- Differences in reproduction and survival are due to variation among organisms.
According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
Galapagos Finches: The Galapagos finches studied by Darwin on his famous voyage are probably the most common example of natural selection.
When the body perspires, it cools itself due to the high specific heat capacity of water. Perspiration produces a cooling effect.
DDT stands for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane. The first kind of synthetic/artificial insecticides came into use in the 1940s. The earlier usage of DDT include: a) Killing of malarial vectors, b) Combatting Typhus and other insect borne human diseases, c) As a pest control in crops d) as a pest control in garden, live stock production and even at homes.
The negative impact of DDT could be felt for the first time when the pests that were earlier killed by use of DDT have now become pesticides resistant. In the 1950s in USA, the regulatory measures were adopted to reduce the usage of DDTs as its effects as a pesticides were no more long significant and also it was creating detrimental physical and psychological impacts on the human and environment.
It was in 1972 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the order for banning the usage of DDT based on the adverse impact it produced on the environment, human and other life forms. Since then continuous studies are being conducted to analyse the impact of DDTs. In some later years it was established that DDT is the cause of producing tumors in liver.
Some of the common negative impacts produced by DDT as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture :
a) The non destructive nature – DDT can not be destroyed and thus it remains persistent in the atmosphere
b) It attacks the tissues of living organisms especially the animals and humans ( fatty tissue)
c) It can penetrate the atmosphere to deeper extent.
Now as per the current stuation, The use of DDT is controlled and other alternatives of pest control organisms is being deduced. As per the treaty of Stockholm Convention on POPs (Persistent organic pollutants) , usage of DDT for malarial control is justified but it puts a restrictive use of DDT as pesticides in other areas.
The charactistics that make it difficult for endangered species to rebound include;
- The habitat is significantly changed
- Over exploitation of the species
- Pollution that threatens the existence of the species
<h3>What are endangered species?</h3>
Endangered species are those species that are facing the threat of extinction sometimes owing to severe habitat loss or some other factors.
We must note that these characteristics that make it difficult for endangered species to rebound;
- The habitat is significantly changed
- Over exploitation of the species
- Pollution that threatens the existence of the species
