Answer:

Sexual selection and natural selection

Explanation:

The mosquitofish population living in ponds with predators swim in fast bursts to protect themselves from the predators. The other population of mosquitofish living in a pond with a few predators swims continuously. This is an example of natural selection. The mosquitofish that can swim in fast bursts are favored in predator rich ponds due to their survival success over the ones that swim continuously.

Breeding preferences as exhibited by females of the two populations of mosquitofish represent the sexual selection. These females prefer the mate according to some advantageous features.
