The two types of peppered moths are the light-colored form called typica and the dark-colored form called carbonaria. These moths became famous for illustrating natural selection during the Industrial Revolution in England.
The first dark peppered moth, known as the carbonaria form, was observed in the early 19th century, around the 1840s, in England. This color variation became more prominent during the Industrial Revolution, as soot and pollution darkened tree trunks, providing better camouflage for the darker moths against predators. The phenomenon is often cited as a classic example of natural selection in response to environmental changes.
Microevolution is a term usually reserved for genetic change within a species or population. As such, evidence for it can readily be seen in nature and in the laboratory. Here are just two well-known examples from nature: * The Peppered Moth in Britain, where natural selection changed the frequency of the carbonaria allele in the population. * Darwin's Finches in the Galapagos, wheher natural selection changed the mean size and depth of beaks on the island of Daphne Major after a drought (beak shape and size is under control of several genes).
Biston betularia, commonly known as the peppered moth, is often cited as a classic example of natural selection. The two main forms of this moth are the light-colored (typica) and the dark-colored (carbonaria) variants. The dark-colored moths became more prevalent during the Industrial Revolution in England due to increased pollution, which darkened tree bark and provided better camouflage against predators. This phenomenon illustrates the impact of environmental changes on evolutionary processes.
