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.
