Because resources are limited in nature, organisms with heritable traits that favor survival and reproduction will tend to leave more offspring than their peers, causing the traits to increase in frequency over generations.

Tropites subbullatus (Hauer, Reference Hauer 1849): Adult modifications play an important role in Triassic ammonoids, and hence this species was chosen as an example. This species is quite original and differs from all other ones by the specific characters (flattened AB and PB, and a ventral ridge along the posterior part of the VB and PB.).
