2 Distribution Curves: Normal Distribution
The animals with the mean or average variation is selected for, the animals with extreme variations are at a disadvantage. There are more average animals than extreme. Mean/ Average Extreme

3 Distribution Curves: Directional Selection
Animals with one side of the extreme have a better advantage, so the curve shifts.

4 Distribution Curves: Stabilizing Selection
Animals with the average variation surge in population number, while animals with the extreme variation decrease rapidly.

5 Distribution Curves: Disruptive Selection
Animals with both extremes (both sides of the bell) are favored, and animals with the average variation die off.
