A selective pressure is any reason for certain phenotypes to have either a survival benefit or disadvantage. Changing environments change selective pressures on populations. Therefore, individual fitness is relative to the environment.
Una pressione selettiva è qualsiasi motivo per cui certi fenotipi abbiano un vantaggio o uno svantaggio di sopravvivenza. I cambiamenti ambientali cambiano le pressioni selettive sulle popolazioni. Pertanto, la fitness individuale è relativa all'ambiente.
