(i didn't know i needed this in my life)

Look at the ADORABLE BLOB CREATURES showing us how different traits (and combinations of traits) are selected for in natural selection. (Thank you, Primer!)

# Did anyone get the subtle disclaimer that we cannot predict the results of natural selection without running an actual simulation? Our card game is totally based on best guess. We welcome alternative ideas!!

Why not try your own simulations on the PHET simulator that's linked on this blog? IT HAS BUNNIESSSSsss

Thank you Amoeba sisters for this amazing video on how natural selection works in standing variation.

# Standing variation - variation that already exists in a population due to the presence of two or more alternative characters that have stabilized over time before an environmental change. (e.g., light green/dark green frogs before predators or resistant and non-resistant bacteria before anitbiotics)

An amazing simulator to see how natural selection works with mutation and changing environments!!
