I found this in nature.com, “If a mutation occurs in a germ-line cell (one that will give rise to gametes, i.e., egg or sperm cells), then this mutation can be passed to an organism's offspring. ...

Some like higher trees to build higher nests, others like lower trees, some like the leaves of some trees useful, some live in the trees that give them fruits, other in trees where many insects go, etc.
Hope it helped!
