What is another word for differential reproduction?
Pronunciation: [dˌɪfəɹˈɛnʃə͡l ɹɪpɹədˈʌkʃən] (IPA) 
Differential reproduction refers to the concept in evolutionary biology that some individuals within a species are more likely to reproduce successfully and pass on their genetic traits to the next generation. Synonyms for differential reproduction might include natural selection, survival of the fittest, adaptation, and evolution. These terms all refer to the process by which individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those without, leading to changes in the genetic makeup of the species over time. Other related concepts in evolutionary biology might include sexual selection, gene flow, and genetic drift, all of which also play important roles in shaping the evolution of species over time.
