Beschreibung
This book presents a readable account of butterfly behaviour, based on field observations, great photographs and the latest research. The main focus is on courtship and mating - including perching, searching and territorial behaviour - but to understand these subjects it is necessary to explain how mates are chosen and this requires sections on wing colours and patterns. A chapter on butterfly vision is also essential in terms of how butterflies see the world and each other. There have been exciting discoveries in all of these fields in recent years, including: butterfly vision (butterfly photoreceptors), wing patterns (molecular biology), wing colouration (structural colours and nano-architecture), mating strategies and female choice (ecology and behaviour).
Rezensionen
...everyone interested in butterflies should read this really monumental book. I recommend the book as an important manual and source of knowledge for anybody interested in the lives of butter?ies, from amateurs to a wide spectrum of professionals studying either butter?ies or generally interested in behaviour, ethology or reproduction.
...a great books and a fantastic review of a fascinating area. Raymond Cannon somehow succeeds in not only covering but also synthesising this massive subject area. It is the most comprehensive book on mating behaviour and butterfly behaviour in general.
It'
Great to find a nature book whose author delves to the very core of its subject then endeavours to present the rigorous facts in a way that's accessible to the layperson. Ray Cannon'
