Allelic melanism in American and British peppered moths.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Grant B S

Abstract excerpt

Parallel evolutionary changes in the incidence of melanism are well documented in widely geographically separated subspecies of the peppered moth (Biston betularia). The British melanic phenotype (f. carbonaria) and the American melanic phenotype (f. swettaria) are indistinguishable in appearance, and previous genetic analysis has established that both are inherited as autosomal dominants.
