    Directional selection; stabilizing selection

    Explanation:

    The stabilizing selection is a result of the decrease of the population and causes genetic variation due to the natural selection. The directional selection of the genetic variation shifts to a new phenotype and on exposure to the environmental changes and both of these can lead to the natural selection and contribute to the variation of the population.
