1. The action of natural selection on beak length in soapberry bug populations varies with the environment. 2. The length of each bug's beak gradually became shorter over time. b. Bugs developed short beaks, because they needed them to feed on the small fruits. 3. Bugs with shorter beaks had more access to food, allowing them to produce more offspring.
