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.
What else can I help you with?
Which concept does the change seen in the peppered moths in England exemplify?
B) that a harmful phenotype may become an advantageous phenotype when the environment changes
Why has the peppered moth that lives in the city developed dark wings and the moth that lives in the countryside developed pale wings?
Because before the industrial revolution, the bark of the trees they lived on was light, therefore the dark ones could be easily seen and eaten by predators, causing only the lighter ones to survive. When the industrial revolution came about, the trees near factories were covered in soot and blackened by the pollution, therefore the darker moths couldn't be seen and eaten so they survived wheras the lighter moths could be seen and eaten.
How does a white moth illustrate natural selection?
The colour of the peppered moth is often used as an example of natural selection. During the Industrial Revolution, the surfaces on which peppered moths frequently settle became increasingly stained with soot from the chimneys of factories, darkening them. Lighter-coloured moths would more easily be seen on these darkened surfaces by predators, and so the chances of survival were less for lighter moths than for darker moths; having a darker colour bestowed a reproductive advantage. As a result, the average colour for the population as a whole became darker.
What is a pale green moth?
The most common type of pale green moth is the luna moth. This is a very large moth that is often seen near lights at night.
How does a difference in pattern and color affect the moth's ability to survive in the environment?
Most moths rely on camouflage to protect themselves from predators. The ones that blend in with their surroundings will have a higher rate of survival.The peppered moth in England is a good example of this. They were originally light with dark speckling. A dark form appeared and became more prevalent during the industrial revolution, purportedly due to soot-covered environments. With that change, the light-colored moths were more easily preyed upon by birds. In recent years with cleaner air, the lighter forms are making a comeback.The color of a moth is what protects them in their environment. They are able to blend in and not be seen by predators.
