Researchers plotted a distribution curve for leg length in a population of birds, with length from short to long on the x-axis. The curve shifts to the right after a disturbance. Which statement is correct about natural selection in this population of birds?

• Birds with short legs were selected for.
• Birds with medium-length legs were selected for.
• Birds with long legs and birds with short legs were selected for.
• Birds with long legs were selected for.

Birds with long legs were selected for. When the curve shifts to the right, it indicates that individuals with longer legs had higher fitness in the disturbed environment. This means that natural selection favored birds with longer legs, which were better adapted to the new conditions.
