Darwinian Fitness
How successful an organism has been at passing down its genes.
Evolution on a small scale (micro) or on a larger scale (macro). Is also described as a change in allele frequencies over time.

Pre-fertilization Isolating Mechanisms
Due to the methods of isolation occuring before fertilization, making them prezygotic as well. This is also defined as pre-mating. Postzygotic is another way to express post-mating, and those isolation methods occur after mating when the egg is not fertile for a number of reasons.
