There are two color morphs of male panther chameleons, blue and orange. Blue chameleons live in trees with blue flowers and fruit while orange chameleons live in trees with orange flowers and fruit. The intermediate morph, purple, is rare since it can be easily seen by predators in trees with orange and blue flowers. This is an example of:

stabilizing selection

directional selection

frequency-dependent selection

disruptive selection
