#1 If the change is not worldwide, it sounds more like local environmental changes should be considered rather than planetary climate change. I recall the moths in England that were selected for dark versus the former light colour when Industrial Revolution resulted in huge amounts of air pollution darkening the bark of the trees the moths liked to rest on, making the light coloured ones more visible to whatever it is that eats moths.
