Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of butterflies, exploring the evolution of their colours and forms. The author challenges the common practice of attributing every slight variation to "local influences" and argues that the evolution of colours and shapes in butterflies is a complex and fascinating process governed by a specific set of rules. The book goes beyond a simple cataloguing of species and delves into the deeper mechanics of natural selection, exploring how the environment influences the development of colours and forms through a process of gradual change over time. The author, who is clearly a passionate observer of butterflies, presents a strong argument for his theory of colour evolution by carefully analysing specific examples of colour patterns and their variations across different species and locations. This book provides a compelling look at the intricate world of butterflies and a unique perspective on the workings of natural selection. This is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intricate and beautiful processes of evolution. 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.
