Want to know:
The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution and why convergence is unimportant in DNA-based trees (that an occasional convergent change at the nucleotide level owing to natural selection is numerically overwhelmed by the much larger number of unique, neutral substitutions).

- A type of selection that occurs when one end of the range of phenotypes is favored by natural selection, causing the frequency of that phenotype to increase over time. An example of this type of selection is the peppered moths during the industrial revolution.
- Five populations A-E of damselflies are located along a river bank. The species has two genetically determined and heritable morphs, light and dark, with ratios indicated in the pie diagrams above. • The upstream populations C, D, and E are situated on black rock, while the downstream populations A and B live on white sand. • Bird predators use visual cues to detect the damselflies.• Damselflies who attempt to leave their habitat can migrate 1 km with 90% success and up to 5 km with 1% success. No damselflies have been observed migrating further than 10 km.• All five populations are large in size with approximately the same numbers of individuals.Which evolutionary mechanism can best explain why light morphs are more abundant than dark morphs in Population A in the presence of bird predators?
