Respuesta :

Answer;

-Species selection

-This trend toward species that have live birth in a particular environment is an example of species selection.

Explanation;

-Species selection is the process responsible for the proliferation of species that have lower extinction and higher speciation rates. Species selection is a reason why macroevolution and microevolution may be uncoupled.

-Suppose that larger-bodied species lineages tend to speciate more rapidly, and that the average rate of extinction is also less for larger species. Over time, this will result in a species trend, in which the clade becomes more speciose and each species on average larger.
