Evidences for Evolution
... We can see evidence of evolution all around us. We can observe: Similarites in all living things that suggest descent from a common ancestor Differences between living things in the same family that suggest change over time (evolution) 1. Fossils – the remains of living things, found in sedimenta ...

... As the density or abundance of individuals increases inside a MPA some will move outside the boundaries- or spillover. The amount of spillover depends on the particular species and will change based on the extend of their home range, or how far they will travel in a lifetime. Through spillover, MPA ...
