In this exercise, you will conduct simulated field studies on populations of small tropical fish (guppies) to demonstrate natural selection in the wild. You will also explore how certain traits that may be good for survival may not be beneficial when it comes to sexual reproduction. You will consider how the forces of natural selection and sexual selection can interact to influence evolution within populations.
