The sentence that best explains why the native Australian dung beetles were not doing the job is "Cow dung is not part of any native Australian species niche." The beetles in Australia had formed alongside the kangaroos and wombats. When the cattle were brought to Australia in the 1880's by European settlers, the beetles were not used to the texture of the dung. It was much different and the dung was not decomposing. Native beetles were not using this dung as a feeding source. This left the cattle not feeding in the pasture because they won't eat near the dung. This reduced the cattle grazing land.
This type of natural selection is referred to as directional selection. In this type of natural selection, either one phenotype is preferred or the other; therefore, there is no equilibrium between the populations of the phenotypes that are present.
Examples of organisms that have undergone directional selection are black bears during the ice ages, African chichlid and sockey salmon.
