Wild deer mice cаn hаve light cоlоrаtiоn or dark coloration and are found in light and dark colored environments (Fig 1a/b). Researchers captured light and dark colored wild deer mice and placed them in large enclosures with dark soil. They monitored survival. Dark mice have negative dorsal brightness measurements while light mice have positive dorsal brightness measures. Figure 1. a) light colored environment b) dark colored environment c) Bar heights are the number of surviving individuals regardless of fur color. The line is the proportion of light colored individuals surviving. d) blue bars is the distribution of the fur color phenotype (i.e. dorsal brightness) at the dark site at the beginning of the experiment. Red bars are the distribution of the fur color phenotype at the dark site at the end of the experiment. For each postulate of natural selection describe if the figures provide evidence of that postulate or whether that postulate still needs to be assessed. You should first describe the postulate. If the postulate is assessed in these data clearly identify the relevant data and provide a justification. If the postulate is not assessed describe what is missing and still needs to be assessed to determine if this population is evolving by natural selection.
