How do peppered moths after the industrial Revolution show the process of natural selecn?

Peppered moths serve as a classic example of natural selection, particularly during the Industrial Revolution in England. Before the revolution, the light-colored moths were more common due to their camouflage against lichen-covered trees, which protected them from predators. However, as pollution darkened the trees, the darker, melanic form of the moth became better camouflaged, leading to an increase in their population. This shift demonstrates how environmental changes can influence which traits are favored, resulting in changes in species over time.
