Probably due to the lack of pollution around. Once the human race discovered fire, there was an increase in soot & carbon particles in the air, which darkened surfaces. This made the lighter mothWhy_do_you_think_the_lighter_variety_of_the_peppered_moth_was_more_common_originallyto predators. The darker colouration evolved to help give it camouflage when it rests on trees.

Can you think of any real-life examples of the woolybooger where one species has a definite advantage over?

Dark peppered moths in England have definite advantage over light peppered moths because they have the ability to blend in with the dark sooty trees affected by pollution. The light peppered moths are at a disadvantage because they stand out to predators (birds).


Can you think of an experiment to test the hypothesis that being light or dark makes a difference in the survival rates of peppered moths?

One possible experiment could involve exposing a population of peppered moths to different habitats with varying light/dark environments. By comparing the survival rates of light and dark moths in each habitat over time, we can determine if there is a correlation between coloration and survival rates. Additionally, introducing predators that preferentially target lighter or darker moths could further test the hypothesis in a controlled setting.


The british have instituted pollution controls on factories how do you think this will affect the evolution of the peppered moth?

The pollution controls on factories will likely improve air quality, resulting in reduced pollution levels. This may lead to a decrease in the advantage of the dark-colored peppered moths, as the lighter-colored moths may become better camouflaged against cleaner backgrounds. Over time, this could potentially shift the balance back towards the lighter-colored moths.
