Variation in the organisms under selection. In both artificial selection and natural selection there must be heritable variations that have the possibility of being in the case of artificial selection what the selector wants in the organism and in thje case of natural selection survivability and reproductive advantages.

Does natural selection operate only on an individual over many generations?

The answer below is partly right, but natural selection actually does not act on an individual. As stated below, individuals within a population of a given species are selected based on physical trains which benefit, but not for the survival of the animal itself. It is important to note that in Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, environmental change does not create new alleles but rather select from the gene pool of a population that has the allele which would benifit in a given condition. Thus, natural selection act on a population and its gene pool rather than the individuals. Yes. According to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, individuals within a population of a given species are "selected" based on physical traits which benefit the survival of the animal. However, they are only "selected" thanks to the individuals that die, because they are not physically suited for survival as well as the others. Natural selection acts directly only on those to die, because it is technically the only physical "act" or determining factor that demonstrates Darwin's theory. All the rest simply has to do with the animals left over, which simply breed as usual inevitably creating better and better animals, while natural selection picks off all those that are not quite good enough.
