My plan is to show how the environment can select for organisms that most suited to it resulting in the evolution of organisms that are adapted to the environment.  So far I have created two different types of animals. One type reproduces once during its lifetime and lives a long time--animal1. The second type of animal reproduces more often but has a shorter life span—animal2.  I then tried to create an environment which would give one type of organism a selective advantage over the other.  One such environment is where there are many predators; in this case a population of animal2 would have an advantage simply because there are more organisms in this population than in a population of animal1. Contrastingly, an environment where a population of animal1 may have an advantage is one where there are limited resources.  In this case having fewer organisms in a population would be advantageous because there would be less competition for resources.
