Which of these interactions are examples of sexual selection?  *Pick All Green butterflies are less likely to be eaten than yellow butterflies due to their color. Green butterflies become more numerous than yellow butterflies in the population.     Male seals compete for territory and access to clusters of female seals. The more aggressive male seals tend to secure the largest territories and clusters.     A change in food resources on an island favors finches with medium-sized beaks. Finches with small and large beaks disappear from the island after a few generations.     Female flies prefer to mate with males that have longer eyestalks. These eyestalks provide no survival advantage, but longer eyestalks become more common over generations.

Ecological adaptations

An ecological adaptation is any morphological, physiological, or behavioral trait of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce in a habitat or ecosystem. Adaptation is a biological mechanism by which an organism gradually gets more acclimated to its surroundings.
