One of Wells's ten critiques concerns peppered moths. For some
comments about his claims, see:

The commentaries illuminate several serious mistakes made by Dr. Wells
in his analyses. In practice, that Wells hasn't really understood the
topic, and hasn't even read carefully a book on moths that is central
in his analysis.

I'm not aware of commentaries about his other claims, although I
haven't tried to look for them either.

PS. These sfnet.keskustelu.evoluutio and -.bio groups are primarily
Finnish. Please post to talk.origins if you want to discuss the matter
in English.
