The diversity within wild bird species in the diagram can best be explained by natural selection. Natural selection is the process by which certain traits become more common in a population due to their advantageous effects on survival and reproduction in a given environment. This leads to the adaptation of species to their specific ecological niches, which results in increased diversity among related species. The other processes listed — asexual reproduction, ecological succession, and mitotic cell division — do not primarily account for the diversity of species in the same way that natural selection does.
the diversity within the wild bird species in th diagram below can best be explained by which process?
