Industrial melanism refers to the phenomenon where dark-colored (melanic) organisms become more common in industrial areas, primarily due to the increased pollution that darkens the environment. This concept is most famously exemplified by the case of the peppered moth (*Biston betularia*) in Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The dark, soot-covered environments created by industrial pollution provided a selective advantage to moths with darker coloration, which were less visible to predators against the polluted backgrounds of trees and buildings. Before the Industrial Revolution, the peppered moth population was predominantly light-colored, with only a small number of dark variants. These light-colored moths had an advantage in the unpolluted environment, as they were better camouflaged against the pale bark of trees. However, as industrialization
