In a population of beetles, there is a variation in shell color—some are green, while others are brown. Birds, the main predators of these beetles, tend to spot and eat green beetles more easily in environments with brown soil and dry leaves. Over time, researchers have noticed that the population of brown beetles has increased, while the number of green beetles has decreased.
