A Reversible Color Polyphenism in American Peppered Moth (Biston betularia cognataria) Caterpillars

Insect body color polyphenisms enhance survival by producing crypsis in diverse backgrounds. While color polyphenisms are often indirectly induced by temperature, rearing density, or diet, insects can benefit from immediate crypsis if they evolve polyphenisms directly induced by exposure to the back...
