Description for The Ecology and Evolution of Heliconius Butterflies. A Passion for Diversity.
This is the first thorough and accessible treatment of the scientific literature on the ecology, genetics, and adaptive radiation of Heliconius butterflies: a classic model system in evolutionary biology. Num Pages: 288 pages. BIC Classification: PSAJ; PSVS; PSVT7. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 253 x 214 x 22. Weight in Grams: 886.
The Heliconius butterflies are one of the classic systems in evolutionary biology and have contributed hugely to our understanding of evolution over the last 150 years. Their dramatic radiation and remarkable mimicry has fascinated biologists since the days of Bates, Wallace, and Darwin. The Ecology and Evolution of Heliconius Butterflies is the first thorough and accessible treatment of the ecology, genetics, and behaviour of these butterflies, exploring how they offer remarkable insights into tropical biodiversity. The book starts by outlining some of the evolutionary questions that Heliconius research has helped to address, then moves on to an overview ... Read more

Reviews for The Ecology and Evolution of Heliconius Butterflies. A Passion for Diversity.
An excellent book for individuals wanting a primer on understanding the relationship between ecology and evolution. The book is well organized and is quite comprehensive, providing a wealth of information that is easily digestible while, in select cases, presenting both sides of an argument for questions in the field with no consensus.
