Diversity and Evolution of Butterfly Wing Patterns An Integrative Approach

Diversity and Evolution of Butterfly Wing Patterns An Integrative Approach / edited by Toshio Sekimura, H. Frederik Nijhout.

This book facilitates an integrative understanding of the development, genetics and evolution of butterfly wing patterns. To develop a deep and realistic understanding of the diversity and evolution of butterfly wing patterns, it is essential and necessary to approach the problem from various kinds...
