Sexual Reproduction
Genetic mutation
sexual reproduction is the major cause of variations within a specie
Increasing variation
the cell goes through mitosis (interphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) and it splits into two identical cells (during this process the DNA is duplicated). As a result of asexual reproduction, there is no variation in population.
The genetic variation enable a particular species to withstand the adversities of Nature by way of selection on the basis of the principle of survival of the fittest.
Biodiversity means the degree of variation of life. Some examples would be genetic variation in a species or ecosystem variation in a planet.
Variation of a species can come about in many ways, but mutation is the major cause of variation in a species.
Variations occurs in species due to the process of "Crossing over"

Little or no variation could lead to failure to adapt to changing conditions. Too much variation would prevent the species from passing on beneficial traits because they would change too rapidly.
Variation in common cause in quality assurance refers to the normal, inherent variability in a process that is to be expected even when the process is under control. It is typically random and can be reduced by improving the overall process rather than identifying and addressing specific causes. Recognizing and understanding common cause variation helps organizations to establish realistic performance expectations and gauge process stability.
Human species, as in the variation in height.
You have to have variation in order to be able to have more successful variations, which succeed in evolutionary terms, and less successful variations which fail. If there were no variation in a species, there would be no natural selection.
Special Cause
natural selection
If the process is in control, then the variation is termed common cause or what you have stated as natural variation.
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
