Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Variation of Species: With Especial Reference to the Insecta; Followed by an Inquiry Into the Nature of Genera
To make a dry subject entertaining, is impossible but to render it, at any rate, readable, has been my endeavour in the following pages. How far I have succeeded in the experiment, it is not for me to decide.

On the Variation of Species: With Especial Reference to the Insecta
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth analysis of variations among insect species, looking specifically at how environmental factors such as climate and isolation affect insect development and appearance. The author draws parallels between analogous effects observed in the evolution of insect species and other members of the animal kingdom, such as mammals, birds, and reptiles, to argue that similar causes are likely to have similar effects across different species. The book also explores the concept of "geographical varieties," examining how insect populations can diverge from their original forms when isolated in new environments, highlighting examples from the insect populations of the Madeira Islands. Ultimately, the book seeks to demonstrate the importance of considering external factors when studying the evolution and diversity of species, emphasizing the role that environmental conditions play in shaping the natural world we see around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330474761_0
