Question: How does the change in forest color affect the population of the lemon-peppered moths?
Hypothesis: the more dim the light of the dark forest, the greater the population of the dark lemon peppered moths because the moths thrive in areas that have very little light.
Data
Claim: If the light forest has more light moths than dark moths and the dark forest has more dark moths than light moths than the two different moths will have their own populations in the forests they live in.
Evidence: The light forest has 51% of light moths and 49% of dark moths, in the dark forest they have 62% of dark moths and 38% of light moths.
Scientific reasoning: Lemon-peppered moths populations in their respective environments are directly linked to their visibility by predators. Light lemon-peppered moths thrive in the light forest because of their natural camouflage just as the dark lemon peppered moths thrive in the dark forest because their natural camouflage makes them less visible.
