Industrial Melanism
The darkening of the population of the peppered moth in Europe over a relatively short time demonstrated natural selection in action. The change in moth coloration was a response to industrial pollution, where darker moths had a survival advantage in a polluted environment as they were better camouflaged from predators. This phenomenon provided a clear example of adaptation and evolution in response to changing environmental conditions.

The infamous LA smog in the 1970s had significant environmental impacts, including air pollution that led to respiratory issues and health problems for residents. The smog was caused by a combination of vehicle emissions, industrial pollution, and geographical factors that trapped pollutants in the atmosphere. This pollution also had detrimental effects on plant and animal life in the region. Efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality were implemented in response to the smog crisis.

Kettlewell published his findings in 1955. His research on the peppered moth (Biston betularia) demonstrated natural selection in action, particularly in response to industrial pollution in England. This work became a significant example of evolutionary biology and contributed to the understanding of how environmental changes can affect species.
List and describe one reform (specific piece of legistlation that occurred in response to some of the proplems created by the Industrial Revolution.
Phenotypic plasticity and adaptation are two ways a population changes in response to changes outside the population. This is how evolution works.
The first black form of the peppered moth, known as the melanistic variety, was originally found in England during the Industrial Revolution. This adaptation occurred as a response to pollution, which darkened tree bark and provided better camouflage for the moths against predators. The phenomenon became a classic example of natural selection in action.
Disasters typically involve widespread disruption, loss, and suffering for affected populations. They can be caused by natural events (such as earthquakes or hurricanes), human-made incidents (such as industrial accidents or terrorist attacks), or a combination of both. Effective disaster response requires coordination among various stakeholders to mitigate the impact and provide timely assistance to those affected.
