Abstract
One of the most immediately obvious features of organic life is its extraordinary diversity — Charles Darwin’s “endless forms” (Darwin 1859). Evolutionary biology attempts to understand how nature’s diversity arose and the sciences of ecology, genetics and physiology investigate the interactions of organisms and seek to understand how they function as part of higher level systems within the cosmos as a whole.
