Disruptive selection favors extreme phenotypes at both ends of the range of variation, while phenotypes in the middle are eliminated.
Selecția disruptivă favorizează fenotipurile extreme la ambele capete ale intervalului de variație, în timp ce fenotipurile din mijloc sunt eliminate.
| Front | distruptive selection |
|---|---|
| Back | Individuals with alleles for extreme phenotypes at either end of the range are more likely to survive and reproduce. Disruptive selection is the opposite of stabilising selection as characteristics towards the middle of the range are lost. |
