Disruptive selection occurs when environmental pressures lead to two extreme genetic variants to be selected for equally. The peppered moth is an example. This moth can have either a light or dark coloration. In England during the Industrial Revolution, increased pollution caused tree bark within cities to turn dark. This favored the dark variation of the moth, since they could more easily blend in with the dark bark to hide from predators. In rural areas away from the pollution of cities, the lighter moth was better able to blend in with trees and escape detection from predators. This led to black moths being more common in cities and light moths being more common in the country.

What does disruption of habitat mean?
Suppose a bulldozer knocked down your home. That would be a disruption of your habitat. More generally the expression applies to wildlife. Draining a swamp disrupts the habitat of species native to that swamp. Clearing land for agriculture, building fences or freeways that divide up habitat, clear cutting forest--all of these things serve as somewhat typical disruptions of habitat. Other things might be changing the climate, for example, by pumping up greenhouse gasses. Acid rain might make a lake uninhabitable for fish. Habitat disruptions need not be caused by men--a volcanic eruption dumping megatons of ash over an area can also be a habitat disruption.
