Sara-
I guess it was this thread where you asserted that criticisms of the "Icons"
were offtrack. What is your take of Jerry Coyne's review written in Nature
1998 where he states:
Finally, the results of Kettlewell’s behavioural
experiments were not replicated in
later studies: moths have no tendency to
choose matching backgrounds. Majerus
finds many other flaws in the work, but they
are too numerous to list here. I unearthed
additional problems when, embarrassed
at having taught the standard Biston story
for years, I read Kettlewell’s papers for the
first time.
