In the
evolutionary sense fitness refers to the measure of reproductive success of an
individual or of organisms in general. Those organisms that leave the largest
number of mature offspring are the fittest. Fitness can be achieved through survival
or mortality selection, mating success or sexual selection, and family size or
fecundity selection. Fitness is critical for a species’ survival and is a major
adaptation that all organisms do through a long period of time.
