You are monitoring a quantitative trait in a population of butterflies over multiple generations. Your professor tells you that

the trait is evolving by natural selection in this population. However, there is no change in mean fitness over time. What type(s) of selection could be occurring in this population and how could you tell what type of selection is happening

Answer:

In the given population, epistasis or frequency-dependent selection would have been taking place. In frequency-dependent selection, selection of a genotype relies upon its frequency in population. It is further divided into two types, that is, positive and negative frequency-dependent selection.  

In negative frequency-dependent selection rare genotypes are selected, while in positive frequency-dependent selection more common genotypes are selected. The other possibility is epistasis, in which the fitness of genotypes relies upon the non-additive influences over the multiple loci.

Sand mounds in a desert: is called "sand dunes". A sand dune can be described as a "small mound or ridge" of hill formed out of sand.

Sedimentary dispositional environment : describes the combination of physical, chemical and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.

Shoreline deposit of sediments: The coastal environment consists of constantly changing conditions, caused by the forces of wind, waves, currents and tides.

Beach sand:Sand is a loose granular material blanketing the beaches, riverbeds and deserts of the world.

Calcareous skeletons from organisms build this wave-resistant structure: Modern coral reefs are principally made of calcium carbonate that has been derived from coral skeletons and cemented into a wave-resistant structure by coralline algae
