These included the concept of warning colouration in animals, and the Wallace effect, a hypothesis on how natural selection could contribute to speciation by encouraging the development of barriers against hybridization.

Because there is no selection pressure for sight in this environment, any number of genetic abnormalities that give rise to the damage or loss of eyes could proliferate among the population with no effect on the fitness of the population.

The shoot-out that ends Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western " Dollars " trilogy is a notable example of how these elements work together to produce an effect: The shot selection goes from very wide to very close and tense ; the length of shots decreases as the sequence progresses towards its end ; the music builds.

Because early humans that were quick to fear dangerous situations were more likely to survive and reproduce, preparedness is theorized to be a genetic effect that is the result of natural selection.

Overall, the combined effect of all selection pressures at various levels determines the overall fitness of an individual, and hence the outcome of natural selection.

Richard Wiseman has criticized the parapsychological community for widespread errors in research methods including cherry-picking new procedures which may produce preferred results, explaining away unsuccessful attempted replications with claims of an " experimenter effect ", data mining, and Retrospective data selection.

The cooperating parts, elements, or individuals become, in effect, functional “ units ” of selection in evolutionary change.

The effect of wind shear can be factored into the selection of twist in the sail design, but this can be difficult to predict since wind shear may vary widely in different weather conditions.

Reinforcement, also called the Wallace effect, is the process by which natural selection increases reproductive isolation.

In particular, phenomena such as kin selection and eusociality, where organisms act altruistically, against their individual interests ( in the sense of health, safety or personal reproduction ) to help related organisms reproduce, can be explained as gene sets " helping " copies of themselves ( or sequences with the same phenotypic effect ) in other bodies to replicate.

Matters of dispute by the participants and writers and historians since the war have included the wisdom of pursuing an offensive strategy in the wake of the failed Nivelle Offensive, rather than waiting for the arrrival of the American armies in France, the choice to attack in Flanders over areas further south or the Italian front, the climate and weather in Flanders, Haig's selection of General Hubert Gough and the Fifth Army to conduct the offensive, debates over the nature of the opening attack between advocates of shallow and deeper objectives, the passage of time between the Battle of Messines and the opening attack of the Battles of Ypres, the extent to which the internal troubles of the French armies motivated British persistence in the offensive, the effect of mud on operations and the decision to continue the offensive in October, once the weather had broken and the human cost of the campaign on the soldiers of the German and British armies.
