Question

17.A species of ivy invades the beetles’ current habitat and becomes the dominant form of vegetation. The color of the ivy’s leaves is similar to the beetles’ average color.

Considering selective pressure on the beetles from predatory birds, which type of natural selection will most likely occur in this situation?
A disruptive
B stabilizing
C directional toward dark body color
D directional toward light body color

Answer 1

I would think that it would be stabilizing being that we are not told that the ivy is darker or lighter to the beetles but average in color.
