Complete question:

Question 49 (1 point) The following questions refer to the description below. You have read that soapberry bugs, Jadera haematoloma, adapt to available food sources. For example, in southern Florida, soapberry bugs feed on seeds of a native plant, the balloon vine. In central Florida, the balloon vine is rare and soapberry bugs have switched to eating seeds of an introduced species, the golden rain tree. The seeds of the golden rain tree fruits are much closer to the fruit surface than the seeds of the native balloon vine fruit. As a result, natural selection results in beaks that are shorter in soapberry bugs that utilize golden rain tree fruits than those that feed on balloon vine fruit seeds.

What type of natural selection do you think is acting on these bugs if we consider the golden rain tree bugs and balloon vines bugs together as one group?
