black; before industrialization, the tree trunks were white; therefore the white peppered moths

predatory birds; the white form therefore reproduced and increased in number; during
industrialization, the smoke from industries coated tree trunks black; the black variety became
camouflaged; reproduced and increased in population; the white variety were easily noticed
and fed upon by predators; they reduced in population;
