An arctic habitat has been [ warming quickly for the past 40 [ Choose ] years, causing the largest individuals in an arctic fox population to have lower fitness. A beetle species lives in a patchy leaf litter habitat composed of [ Choose ] brown and green leaves. Green beetles are more camouflaged (therefore less likely to be eaten by birds) on green leaves and brown beetles are camouflaged on brown leaves. Intermediate colors stick out on both leaf colors. A species of songbird lays 3-4 Stabilizing Selection eggs every mating season. With fewer eggs, it is unlikely that will survive to adulthood (due to any predation, illness, etc), and with more eggs, it is unlikely that the parents will be able to feed all of the hatchlings. An orchid species contains both red-flowered and yellow- [ Choose ] flowered plants. Bee pollinators prefer to visit plants with the rarer flower color, resulting in higher seed production for those plants.
