Hi all, I am having an interesing discussion at the moment about Natural selection. The context is a single population of individuals that, due to changes in the environment, are now maladapted and the population is reducing in size. Based on the often used definition of differential reproduction, when there is not much to differentiate with, there is no longer differential selection, and as such, no natural selection. However, they are maladapted, so unfit to survive. Any opinions about this nice contradiction?
