An example of an advantageous trait from your list is:

Elephants are being born without tusks, in response to pressures from poaching for ivory.

This trait can be seen as advantageous because it helps those elephants avoid being targeted by poachers who typically seek out tusked individuals for their ivory. Over time, this trait may increase the likelihood of survival and reproduction for those elephants in environments where poaching is prevalent.
