Natural Selection and Speciation Additionally, because the city and country environments were different, there were different selective pressures on city vs. country moths that could potentially drive the evolution of these two populations of moths in different directions. The only category that actually exists in nature is individual species — everything else is groupings we have invented based on similarities among the organisms we decided should be members of that group. Another important point is that natural selection operates on the genetics of a species, including whatever genes affect instinctive behavior patterns as well as those affecting the looks of the individuals. biology.clc.uc.edu /courses/bio106/nat-sel.htm   (2433 words)

The Gypsy Moth The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, is in the same category of insects as moths and butterflies. Lamantriid larvae are also known as tussock moths because of the prominent tufts of hairs along their body. The gypsy moth belongs to the family Lamantriidae, which is characterized by feeding on tree foliage. www.michigan.gov /mda/1,1607,7-125-1566_2405_2449-14322--,00.html   (2433 words)

introduction.php Thus, a treatise on Borneo moths should include all or most species: widespread in the Indo-Australian tropics; widespread in the Oriental tropics; with more restricted S.E. Asian plus Sundanian distributions; limited to Sundaland; endemic to Borneo. The Sunda / Wallacea category includes Sundanian species and those shared between Borneo or Sundaland and Wallacea. These categories are more or less nested one within the next in reverse order. www.mothsofborneo.com /part-10/introduction.php   (1364 words)

From "Melanism: Evolution in Action" Photographs of melanic and non-melanic moths taken against matching backgrounds are remarkable not only in regard to color matching but also (particularly for non-melanics) for pattern matching. If peppered moth melanism falls under this category, then the NDT cannot apply to it, because random, spontaneous mutation is an essential part of the NDT. Some or all members of a population will carry the necessary genes to produce melanism, but these genes are only expressed if triggered by some environmental cue. members.tripod.com /aslodge/id84.htm   (511 words)

Articles 16 September 1988 For instance, Table 1 helps justify the attention traditionally given by conservationists to "endemic rarities": not only are these species, with their narrow ranges and restricted habitat specificities, easily destroyed, but they are also numerically the most prevalent category of rare plants. One problem with essentially all the data that have been compiled for SRA is that they focus on particular taxonomic groups ("birds," "moths"). ROBERT M. This article surveys current answers to the factual question posed in the title and reviews the kinds of information that are needed to make these answers more precise. www.ciesin.org /docs/002-253/002-253.html   (623 words)

Observer Lavender marriage Admittedly, lavender belonged more to the former category - hence its association with aged aunts dabbing their throbbing brows with lavender water, or repelling moths with dusty sachets of dried lavender. A few tender lavenders, like Lavender canariensis, L candicans, L pinnata, L dentata and L viridis can taste of eucalyptus, so if you are uncertain, simply crush and sniff a leaf before buying. Gordon Ramsay - clearly a lavender man - argues in his book A Chef for All Seasons (£25, Quadrille) that dried lavender has a more intense flavour than fresh - but beware if it is too old - like any dried herb, it can impart a slightly musty flavour to a dish. observer.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4267108-102278,00.html   (484 words)

DARWINISM: SCIENCE OR PHILOSOPHY? Chapter 1 Grasse used the same term to refer to something very different, a poorly understood process of transformation in which one general category (like reptiles) gave rise to another (like mammals), guided by mysterious "internal factors" that seemed to compel many individual lines of descent to converge at a new form of life. Nobody denies that mutation and selection have caused variation in nature, as with the varieties of shapes and colors in the famous finches of the Galapagos islands or the shifting ratios of dark and light peppered moths in the midlands of England. Grasse argued that, due to their uncompromising commitment to materialism, the Darwinists who dominate evolutionary biology have failed to define properly the problem they were trying to solve. www.leaderu.com /orgs/fte/darwinism/chapter1.html   (5170 words)
