Peppered moth timeline
From EvoWiki
[edit] Introduction
This page is meant to provide a comprehensive timeline of all notable events relating to the peppered moth, Kettlewell and his experiments, and the recent controversy due to Wells and Hooper's claims that the peppered moth example is in disarray. I will mostly be adding references with links and short descriptions, and some events, I encourage others to do the same.
