Explanation:

1. Charles Darwin and Natural Selection:
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection states that organisms best adapted to their environment will survive and pass on their advantageous traits to their offspring. The mnemonics "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" and "Survival of the Fittest" help remember his contributions to the theory of evolution.

2. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics:
Lamarck's theory of evolution suggests that traits acquired during an organism's lifetime can be passed on to its offspring. The mnemonics "Lamarck's Lively Legacy" and "Use it or Lose it" help remember his contributions to the theory of evolution.

3. Gregor Mendel and Genetics:
Mendel's experiments with pea plants led to the discovery of the basic principles of genetics. The mnemonics "Mendelian Magic" and "Pea Plants and Punnett Squares" help remember his contributions to the theory of evolution.

4. Alfred Russel Wallace and Biogeography:
Wallace's study of biogeography helped him formulate the idea of natural selection independently of Darwin. The mnemonics "Wallace the Wanderer" and "Geographical Isolation" help remember his contributions to the theory of evolution.

5. Thomas Malthus and Population Growth:
Malthus's work on population growth helped Darwin understand the struggle for survival and the role it plays in natural selection. The mnemonics "Malthusian Musing" and "Food and Famine" help remember his contributions to the theory of evolution.
