NameWhat did the experiment show about how prey are selected by predators?What moth coloration is the best adaptation for a dark (newspaper) background? Explain.What would you expect the next generation of moths to look like after trial 1?What would you expect the next generation of moths to look like after trial 3?How does this simulation model natural selection?

Predators like the challenge of searching for the camouflaged prey in order to beat the system. :)
newsprint is better adapted for darker backgrounds because it is harder to see the contrast.... is what you wanted but newspaper was easier to grab than the thicker light counterpart.more light mothsmore dark moths
it more accurately camouflaged the moths but the game should have been only 30 seconds rather than 1min.

those that survive best will have more success with reproduction

Peppered
Predators tend to select prey that are easier to find.
more darker
more of the moths that are camoflaged survive

A higher proportion of dark moths
Organisms with a survival advantage (in this case blending in with the background and being harder for predators to see) tend to preferentially survive and pass on their traits to their offspring.

predators prey on the easier ones to catch because they will excert less energy in doing so
dark or pepperedmore light colored mothsmore darker moths
the organisms better suited for survival will continue to reproduce

MarioMartinezThe ones that are easier to catch will be eatendark, harder to seemore whitemore dark
those that are better suited for survival in a given habitat will be able to more successfully reproduce.

The best fit for the environment survives

traits can be selected for from outside forces such as predation

The simulation modeled how in nature, it is easier for the predator to spot the prey that did not blend in with the tree, therefore if the tree was white the black moths were eaten and if the tree was black the white moths were eaten
