Re: How About A Trifecta Echo
I don't think this is particularly useful example since (as far as I know), there's no relevant mutating going on here. The light and dark morphs of the moth already existed in the population before northern England was turned into a grim, smog-caked wasteland. All that happened was a change in frequencies as selection favoured light, then dark, then light individuals again.
