Select all that applyWhich of the following are recent observations that have challenged Tutt's hypothesis about peppered moths?Multiple select question.In some areas, lichens never changed even though dark moths became predominant.In some areas, evidence suggests that moths rest on leaves in the treetops, not trunks.There have never been direct observations of birds preying on the dark peppered moths.Light moths in some areas increased in frequency long before lichens re-appeared.
