Selektion, Auslese
A process by which heritable traits conferring survival and reproductive advantage to individuals, or related individuals, tend to be passed on to succeeding generations and become more frequent in a population, whereas other less favourable traits tend to become eliminated; the differential survival and reproduction of phenotypes.
Über viele Jahre hinweg begünstigte die natürliche Selektion in Industriegebieten Pfeffermotten mit dunkleren Flügeln, da sie besser vor Fressfeinden getarnt waren.
