Selection pressures operate on populations in such a way as to increase the overall fitness of a population. An example of this can be seen in the birth weights of human babies. For humans, giving birth is a special, but often traumatic, event. In a study of human birth weights, it is possible to observe the effect of selection pressures on a population. For humans, if an infant is born weighing 1kg, just 20% survive. If the birth weight increases just 1⁄2 kg (1.5kg), then the survival rate is 70%. As birth weight increases to 2.0kg, survival rate is 88% and it is 96% at 2.5kg. Both 3kg and 4kg have a survival rate of 97%, while the survival rate is 98% for 3.5kg babies. At 4.5kg the survival rate decreases to 93% and it is 85% for 5kg babies. Fill in the data table below and graph the information using the appropriate graph.

Amale bird-of-paradise uses a dance to attract mates in which it flaps its tail feathers on the ground and jumps around a potential female mate. a different male bird-of-paradise does a similar dance but it jumps around the female in the opposite direction. the female bird is only attracted to one style of dance, in one direction. this is an example of speciation.
