Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the evolutionary processes of Javanese Rhopalocera, particularly the Lycaenidae and Erycinidae families. The author, a pioneering entomologist, challenges the conventional wisdom of his day, arguing that many species we now recognize as distinct are in fact different stages of the same evolutionary process and are not separate species at all. The author presents a wealth of evidence to support his claim, including detailed observations of the morphology, behavior, and genetics of these butterflies. He shows that many of the physical characteristics traditionally used to distinguish species, such as wing shape and color patterns, are actually highly variable and can change dramatically over time. These insights have profound implications for our understanding of evolution. They show that the process is not a linear progression from one species to another, but rather a complex and dynamic interplay of factors, including natural selection, sexual selection, and genetic drift. The author's work also underscores the importance of studying organisms in their natural habitats, where they are subject to the full range of environmental influences that shape their 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. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243275274_0
