“If one form has an advantage, such as being harder to spot, it should replace all others. How does this reconcile with the theory that females (or males) only choose those potential mates that best exemplifies the species? Thus, the "weird" example may survive--but it won't breed to pass on the trait.

Sometimes the one who breeds is the one who makes it to 2:00 am closing time, not the best of the bunch.
As a sometimes hunter, this makes sense, in that I would not voluntarily eat a bird or animal that is deformed. Not apetizing.

Preditors look for the odd ball, thinking it is dformed, thus weaker.
