    An example is the drop of white-colored moths and an increase in dark-colored moths in London after the industrial revolution. Because darker-colored moths could camouflage well in the sooty environment (due to industrial emissions), they were preyed less by their predators. White-colored moths stood out and due to being preyed more their numbers declined over generations - because they wouldn't survive long enough to reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. The predominant color for the moths' population became dark color.
