When Hurricane Katrina hit, many organisms were wiped out in a given region. For example, due to the excessive flooding, many insects that lived underground were wiped out. The entire population of green bugs were killed during the flooding, while half of the brown bugs population were killed, yet some survived..

A population of black, brown beetles is moved into an area with grey rocks and white rocks.  The brown beetles are able to hide from predators among the grey  and white rocks , but the green beetles stand out in both habitats. The brown beetles survive and are able to reproduce increasing the population
