An example of natural selection is the tail of a male peacock. The females of the species choose mates based on the colors of the males’ tail feathers. If females begin using different criteria than feather color when they choose mates, what would most likely happen to the tails of peacocks over time?

"Increased variation in tail feather color because the peacocks try different ways to impress the females" would be the correct answer
