The Charles Darwin Research Station www.darwinfoundation.org is the headquarters for The Foundation, in the Galapagos archipelago. The mission of the Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands, and its Research Station is to provide knowledge and assistance through scientific research and complementary actions to ensure the conservation of the environment and biodiversity in the Galapagos Archipelago. The Charles Darwin Foundation is based in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos, Ecuador.

Peter Brent writes in his biography of Darwin, "Darwin: A Man of Enlarged Curiosity", that Charles and Emma Darwin's "ties to each other were linked to childhood and the very beginnings of memory. They had a common history, a joint tradition. It is hard to think their relationship a passionate one, but it was happy, and the happiness had deep roots." Bradbury—himself a social psychologist—draws on this biography to argue that in Darwin's letters, Emma was "always the mother, never the child, Darwin always the child, never the father."

His research included extensive experimental selective breeding of plants and animals, finding evidence that species were not fixed and investigating many detailed ideas to refine and substantiate his theory. For fifteen years this work was in the background to his main occupation of writing on geology and publishing expert reports on the "Beagle" collections. When FitzRoy's "Narrative" was published in May 1839, Darwin's "Journal and Remarks" was such a success as the third volume that later that year it was published on its own.

The two rheas were also distinct species, and on 14 March Darwin announced how their distribution changed going southwards.

As species always breed beyond available resources, favourable variations would make organisms better at surviving and passing the variations on to their offspring, while unfavourable variations would be lost.
