how natural selection impacted the evolution of a particular species?

Answer 1

Natural selection is the cause (well, a cause) of the evolution of all species. Species whose genetic mutations favor survival and reproduction will naturally be selected (natural selection!) to survive and reproduce, to carry on the species.

Answer 2

Natural selection can play no role in the development of new species. It does cause variation WITHIN a species.

See my question about the peppered moth. We all know the story - when the trees were blackened with coal from factories, the moths turned black - because those that were darker were harder for birds to see against the soot on the trees.

When the pollution was controlled and the trees became clean again, the WHITE moths then survived and supplanted the black moths.

This is an example of adaptation for survival, but it can have nothing to do with evoving into a new species. The genetic ability for a moth to become all white or all black was already present within the moth gene pool - it was not the result of a mutation.

The changes within a population of organisms cannot be considered "evolution." It's adaptation, nothing more.
