Question

Evolution and ecology converge at the of structure.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The ecosystem theory of evolution is a system of concepts and approaches to the study of evolution, focusing on the features and patterns of evolution of ecosystems of various levels - biocenoses, biomes and the biosphere as a whole, and not taxa (species, families, classes, and so on). The provisions of the ecosystem theory of evolution are based on two postulates:Naturalness and discreteness of ecosystems. An ecosystem is a really existing (and not isolated for the convenience of a researcher) object, which is a system of interacting biological and non-biological (eg soil, water) objects territorially and functionally delimited from other similar objects. The boundaries between ecosystems are clear enough to speak about the independent evolution of neighboring objects.

The determining role of ecosystem interactions in determining the rate and direction of population evolution. Evolution is seen as the process of creating and filling ecological niches or licenses.
