Behavior General Life Living Organism Theory

Life-history theory - Life-history theory explores how an organism "makes a living" by integrating ontogeny an phylogeny. An organism's life history is its pattern of growth, survival and reproduction throughout its life.

Living systems theory - Living systems theory is an offshoot of Bertalanffy's general systems theory, created by James Grier Miller, intended to formalize the concept of "life". According to Miller's original conception, as spelt out in his magnum opus Living Systems, a "living system" must contain each of 19 "critical subsystems", which are defined by function ("boundary", "transporter", "decider", etc).

Life - Life is a multi-faceted concept that may refer to the ongoing process of which living things are a part; the period between the conception (the point at which the entity can be considered to be an individualized being) and death of an organism; the condition of an entity between conception and death that which makes a living thing alive.

Domestication - Domestication is a natural phenomenon whereby a wild biological organism is habituated to survive in the company of human beings. Domesticated animals, plants, and other organisms are those whose collective behavior, life cycle, or physiology has been altered as a result of their breeding and living conditions being under human control for multiple generations.
