Synopsis
Excerpt from Protective Resemblance in the Insecta
Briefly stated, the theory is that the increase in the numbers of young, whilst the total number of adults remains practically stationary, shows that a continual contest takes place for existence; that those individuals who vary in a direction which is best adapted to the struggle for life, are the most likely to survive, and that the hereditary transmission of fav'orable variations, with changing conditions of life, lead to structural modifications and to the evolution of new species.
