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?
I remember years ago reading up about industrialisation and how pollution caused many trees and whatnot to darken considerably with the smog, exposing the light peppered moths and giving the dark peppered moths a better chance of survival.
How do you explain the change in coloration of the English peppered moth?
These moths started out with a whitish color to camouflage into trees. Due to pollution, these trees turned a darker color. This means these light moths can easily be seen. The darker moths have more of a chance of surviving in their environment. So, these moths were able to reproduce, adapting to the new environment. So now they are a darker, black color to blend in with the trees better.
What is a moths habitat?

If the bark of the trees is dark and the moths that rest on them are light what might happen to the moths?
They might get separated from the rest of the group. If they are newborns, they won't know where to go. Then they won't get to their group migration place and they could starve if they don't find the nutrition they need.

Why did the number of peppered moths increase after the 1850s?
The industrialization in England of factories caused the trees to turn darker due to the ash and soot coming from the factories. When the trees were done evolving into dark colored trees the dark peppered moths were difficult to see for the birds went after the ones which were easier to see, which were the light peppered moths.

Why are they called peppered moths?
Peppered moths are a certain species of moth that inhabited trees. when the industrial revolution came, it made a lot of the trees black. the moths had to keep themselves hidden from birds, so some of the moths turned a black/brown color. It almost looks like they have pepper on them. Most of the moths just migrated to a different location, keeping their light original color.

Darwin's natural selection worksheet?
You are a bird hunting moths (both dark and light) that live on trees. As you capture the moths most easily visible against the tree surface.
Do butterflies and moths pollinate trees?
have no clue
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).
