8. Slide 8 Directional Natural Selection Natural selection New averagePrevious average Number of individuals Coloration of snails Proportion of light-colored snails in population increases Number of individuals Snail coloration best adapted to conditions Average Coloration of snails Average shifts Figure 5-5 (1) Page 97

9. Slide 9 Population Size LowHighTemperature Zone of intolerance Zone of physiological stress Optimum range Zone of physiological stress Zone of intolerance No organisms Few organisms Lower limit of tolerance Abundance of organisms Few organisms No organisms Upper limit of tolerance Figure 4-13 Page 72

10. Slide 10 Stabilizing Natural Selection Coloration of snails Light snails eliminated Dark snails eliminated Number of individuals Coloration of snails Snails with extreme coloration are eliminated Number of individuals Average remains the same, but the number of individuals with intermediate coloration increases Natural selection Figure 5-5 (2) Page 97

11. Slide 11 Number of individuals with light and dark coloration increases, and the number with intermediate coloration decreases Coloration of snails Number of individuals Snails with light and dark colors dominate Diversifying Natural Selection Coloration of snails Number of individuals Light coloration is favored Dark coloration is favored Intermediate-colored snails are selected against Natural selection Figure 5-5 (3) Page 97

Slide 14 Stepped Art Figure 5-8 Page 100 Early fox population Spreads northward and southward and separates Adapted to heat through lightweight fur and long ears, legs, and nose, which give off more heat. Adapted to cold through heavier fur, short ears, short legs, short nose. White fur matches snow for camouflage. Gray Fox Arctic Fox Different environmental conditions lead to different selective pressures and evolution into two different species. Southern population Northern population
