The answer is stabilizing selection. This type of natural selection in which the population mean stabilizes on a particular non-extreme trait value. This type of natural selection is the most widely seen in which there are no drastic changes in traits of the population in long times. Extreme traits of the population are weeded out hence the subsequent generations of the population have less diversity than the initial. The illustration below shows this model in relation to the others.

Which feature do all adult echinoderms have?
Lana71 [14]
The phylum Echinodermata , which contains about 6000 species, gets its name from the Greek, literally meaning "spiny skin." Many echinoderms actually do have "spiny" skin, but others do not. This phylum exists exclusively in the sea, and cannot be found on land or in fresh water. All echinoderms have one thing in common: radial symmetry. This means that the creatures have appendages (or body construction) which point outward from the center of the body like the spokes on a bicycle wheel. Furthermore, these appendages usually occur in multiples of five, although there are a few exceptions. There are several well known members of this group, like sea stars and sea urchins. The radial symmetry is obvious in these creatures.
