| has gloss | eng: The evolution of the peppered moth has been studied in detail over the last two hundred years. At first, many of peppered moths had light coloration, which made them camouflaged them against the light-colored trees and lichens which they rested upon. Due to the pollution during the Industrial Revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and the trees that peppered moths rested on became blackened by soot, causing most of the light-colored moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-coloured, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees. |

| has gloss | deu: Industriemelanismus bezeichnet eine Variante des Melanismus, das heißt einer besonders ausgeprägten Einlagerung von dunklen Pigmenten – speziell von Melanin – in die Haut. Die Bezeichnung entstand, nachdem beim Birkenspanner (Biston betularia), einem Nachtfalter, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in englischen Industriegebieten ein drastischer Wandel seines äußeren Erscheinungsbilds beobachtet worden war: Hatten zuvor die Individuen einer hellen Morphe dominiert, traten danach vorwiegend dunkel gefärbte Individuen auf. |

| has gloss | ind: Evolusi biston betularia selama dua ratus tahun terakhir telah dipelajari. Biston betularia berwarna putih sebelum revolusi industri berpopulasi lebih banyak, karena dapat berkamuflase pada pohon-pohon berwarna cerah. Namun, karena menyebarnya polusi udara setelah revolusi industri di Inggris, banyak ngengat putih yang mati, dan pohon yang digunakan untuk berkamuflase berubah warna menjadi hitam, menyebabkan predator dapat memakan ngengat ini. Pada waktu yang sama, ngengat berwarna hitam, bertambah banyak karena kemampuan mereka untuk bersembunyi di pohon yang gelap. |
