In the Amazon rainforest, natural selection would favor ferns that are tolerant to **shade**. This is because the dense canopy of trees in the rainforest limits the amount of sunlight that reaches the forest floor, so ferns that can thrive in low-light conditions have a better chance of survival and reproduction.
