English: A trait under positive selection. The blue dashed line shows the current mean population trait value, the red dashed line shows the mean population trait value in the next generation. Because high trait values are associated with higher fitness the the mean trait value increases due to selection.
Frequency-dependent selection is an evolutionary process by which the fitness of a phenotype or genotype depends on the phenotype or genotype composition of a given population. In positive frequency-dependent selection, the fitness of a phenotype or genotype increases as it becomes more common.
A significant example of directional selection in populations is the fluctuations of light and dark phenotypes in peppered moths in the 1800s. [16] During the industrial revolution, environmental conditions were rapidly changing with the newfound emission of dark, black smoke from factories that would change the color of trees, rocks, and other ...
Prentice et al. [17] predicted that the emerging molecular genetics field would ultimately provide a way to test between the adaptive 'thrifty gene' idea and the non-adaptive 'drifty gene' idea because it would be possible to find signatures of positive selection in the human genome, at genes that are linked to both obesity and type 2 diabetes ...

The co-operative behaviour of social insects like the honey bee can be explained by kin selection.. Kin selection is a process whereby natural selection favours a trait due to its positive effects on the reproductive success of an organism's relatives, even when at a cost to the organism's own survival and reproduction.

Israel and Lebanon have accepted a proposal to end the 13-month border conflict that spiraled into an all-out war with Hezbollah. Here are the details about the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal
