Advantageous traits:

Traits that give them an advantage within their environment; these individuals will survive to reproduce and pass on those traits to their offspring.

Natural selection :

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.

Examples,

1)tree frogs are sometimes eaten by snakes and birds.

2)origin of giraffes' long necks

Advantageous traits are those traits that are beneficial for an organism to survive in a particular environment it may include anything from the ability to utilize new food source to a change in size or shape that might be useful.

Natural selection is basically what you can call survival of the fittest, the process of natural selection is based on differences in phenotype of an individual which is inherited from parent to offspring. Natural selection is the reason of evolution.

Example:
