	Peppered Moth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		According to Kettlewell, in order for natural selection to act as a mechanism in industrial melanism, the color of individual moths must have some relatively consistent effect on their survival or the number of offspring they produce.
		Kettlewell also concluded that the genetics of dark and light coloration could be reduced to a case of simple Mendelian dominance.
		Kettlewell was thoroughly convinced by his experiments, and in fact so were most other scientists.

		Kettlewell's original experiments, their strengths and weaknesses, and the recent accusations/implications that these experiments were hopelessly flawed (alleged by Jonathan Wells in Icons of Evolution and by his creationist fans) or even fraudulent (a charge from journalist Judith Hooper's book Of Moths and Men).
		Kettlewell's science, and the science that followed him, has gotten a very bad rap as of late, from creationists, from Hooper's book and other poor science journalism, and even from a few scientists who are poorly acquainted with the scientific literature on the peppered moth.
		Kettlewell did not appreciate Sargent's critiques and this may go a ways towards explaining Sargent's bitterness towards the "peppered moth establishment" (as Hooper would put it) but the whole matter is peripheral to the question at hand.

	Research Proposal
		Kettlewell is most famous for his work on the phenomenon of industrial melanism, which refers to a rapid rise in the frequencies of dark (melanic) forms in several moth species in areas downwind of industrial centers, apparently in response to pollution.
		Kettlewell's experiments further documented that melanic forms were at a selective advantage of.40 in polluted environments relative to pale forms, well in excess of what most scientists at the time thought was possible in nature.
		Kettlewell's work is one of several routinely used by science educators to teach the concept of natural selection, and a number of authors have stressed how the historical, sociological and philosophical aspects of this episode in particular make it especially appropriate for use in science teaching (e.g.

	Second Thoughts About Peppered Moths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Kettlewell’s first experiment was conducted in an aviary containing a pair of nesting birds and their young.
		Kettlewell watched through binoculars as the moths settled on nearby trees; he observed that melanics were much less conspicuous than typicals, as judged by the human eye, and that birds took conspicuous moths more readily than inconspicuous ones.
		In other words, Kettlewell assumed (1) that the main defect of his release method was an unnaturally high density of moths, affecting merely the tempo of predation; and (2) that he could disregard the observation that many moths would have preferred to take up positions higher in the trees.

	Wokół ewolucji
		Kettlewell was a larger-than-life bon vivant with a liking for female company, shooting and fishing, but no intellectual.” All of this was evident to me during my brief stint at Parks Road.
		Kettlewell's initial mark-release-recapture experiment was not going well at the end of June 1953, when he received a message from Ford encouraging him to do better.
		To damn Kettlewell 50 years after the fact is of a piece with using contemporary notions of “political correctness” to damn Shakespeare as an anti-Semite or banish Mark Twain from the curriculum because of the n-word.

	Moonshine: Why the Peppered Moth Remains an Icon of Evolution
		Kettlewell was a distinguished naturalist whose studies on predation in peppered moths were a landmark in demonstrating natural selection in the wild.
		Thus, I examined Kettlewell's data in hope of quantifying the effect of the moon on his recapture rates (1955: 332, Table 5). I obtained data that gave the moon's magnitude (an astronomical term that is related to its brightness) and the duration during which the moon was visible each night during Kettlewell's experiment.
		Kettlewell's data are simply accounted for by the unsurprising fact that you can recapture more moths when you release more, that and normal experimental variation. When the effect of moonlight is included in the calculation, the calculated curve fits even closer to Kettlewell's data. We have no need of Hooper's perverse, ad-hoc hypothesis.

	The Peppered Moth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In addition, neither Kettlewell nor those who checked his work were able to compensate for the degree to which migration of moths from surrounding areas might have affected the actual numbers of light and dark moths he counted in various regions of the countryside.
		The population of dark moths rose and fell in parallel to industrial pollution, and the percentage of dark moths in the population was clearly highest in regions of the countryside that were most polluted.
		As Majerus, the principal scientific critic of Kettlewell's work wrote, "My view of the rise and fall of the melanic form of the peppered moth is that differential bird predation in more or less polluted regions, together with migration, are primarily responsible, almost to the exclusion of other factors."

		Kettlewell observed through binoculars that melanics seemed less conspicuous than typicals, and that birds took conspicuous moths more readily than inconspicuous ones.
		Kettlewell later repeated this experiment in an unpolluted woodland in Dorset, England, where the recapture percentages were the opposite of those obtained in Birmingham.
		In his experiments, Kettlewell released moths directly onto tree trunks, and acknowledged that they "were not free to take up their own choice of resting site....

		Caroline Kettlewell made her first attempt at age 12 with a Swiss Army knife, too dull to perform satisfactorily, but she quickly graduated to razor blades.
		Unsure if her misery was justified, Kettlewell never talked about it, instead escaping by cutting her arms and legs, which allowed her to focus only on the present moment, the certainty of blood and pain.
		The text jumps repetitively and illogically between episodes, occasionally registering confusion at the level of the sentence structure ("Which one of us did I lie to protect?" is typical), and rife with maudlin metaphors and similes ("summer fell across my lap like a corpse").
