Yes, because the environment can factor into the distribution of traits.
Sunlight can affect which individuals survive and reproduce (natural selection), changing trait frequencies in a population over generations. (Note: sunlight can also cause mutations in individuals, but the main way it changes trait distribution is by altering survival/reproductive success.)
