Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 7 page overview of the marvels of evolution as reflected in six very different representatives of the plant and animal kingdom. This paper notes the lessons mankind might learn from birds, insects, and even the lowly parasitic worms as well as food crops such as corn, medicinal plants such as foxglove, and ornamentals such as the exotic water hyacinth. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

A life forms adapt complex yet very efficient mechanisms for dealing with the forces around them. Since time began the first organisms on this earth
were faced on a daily basis with the need to survive and to procreate. In order to survive against odds which were sometimes larger, faster, meaner, tougher, that it,
a particular animal or plant would adapt different mechanisms to cope. Plants adapted mechanisms as well which allowed them a certain edge in the complex play of life.
Some of these mechanisms were immediate like fleeing, others involved a much longer and complex series of events we call evolution. What has resulted is millions of organism, all
of which have a particular niche in the overall ecology of the world. Although as humans we often have favorites, no one plant
or animal stands out above all the rest in regard to its overall value to world ecology. Birds, insects, fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and even the lowly worms all
deserve equal consideration as do our native species of plants, our crop plants, wild or propagated medicinals, and even our so-called weeds. Each has a definitive place in the
worlds ecology. As our first example of the contention presented above, take the lowly insect. Although evolution has resulted in
some total failures which ultimately became extinct, those that survived the testament of time have become some of the most beautiful and extraordinary creatures on earth. Insects come in
a variety of shapes and forms, each adapted to its own particular circumstances in life. As strange as they may appear, each has a particular ecological niche for which
