Because in the wild there is a struggle for existence as more organisms are born than there are resources to support them. Thus, there is a wide variety of traits expressed by these many organisms and some of these traits confer survival and reproductive advantages which is what natural selection is selecting for.
Short and sweet description. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying organisms. Variation. Struggle for existence. Selection. Heritability of traits. Adaptation of populations to environment. Leading to allele frequency change in populations over time; evolution.
The "struggle to survive", "survival of the fittest" and "natural selection" are all phrases to indicate the main guiding mechanism of evolution: differential reproductive success.
On The Origin Of Species By Means Of Natural Selection, Or the Preservation Of Favored Races In The Struggle For LifeCharles Robert Darwin ( of course! )
The struggle to survive can lead to natural selection, where individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This can lead to the evolution of populations with characteristics that improve their chances of survival. Over time, these beneficial traits may become more common in a population.
Social Darwinism
Description of a Struggle was created in 1908.
Natural selection.
The four stages are: Overproduction, Genetic Variation, Struggle to Survive, and Successful Reproduction
The cast of Description of a Struggle - 1993 includes: Chris Marstall as The Supplicant Tony Pemberton as Fritz Parker Posey as Wanda Douglas Stearns as Baachus
It was a struggle between differing ideologies.

Yes and so are successful reproduction and the struggle to survive.
Bonifacio's decision of an armed struggle was the most appropriate course of action given the turn of events in 1892 to save lives.

natural selection (4 tenants) -genetic variation -overproduction of offspring -struggle for existence (competition) -differential survival and reproduction
The selection of the organism that survives best in a habitat with limited resources and that organisms superior reproductive success is called natural selection.
