Book Synopsis DEV & EVOL BUTTERFLY WING by : NIJHOUT H FREDERIK
Download or read book DEV & EVOL BUTTERFLY WING written by NIJHOUT H FREDERIK and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 1991-08-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Butterfly wing color patterns may indicate sex or distastefulness, may mimic other organisms, may act as camouflage, or they may confuse predators. Most species may be identified by their color patterns alone. Furthermore, the dorsal and ventral patterns may be very different and each has evolved separately. These patterns are not random but are homologous units which can be identified in all species. The patterns are permutations of the nymphalid ground plan. This book describes the elucidation of these homologies based on comparative morphology, genetics, and theoretical modelling. The book is supplemented by line-drawings, diagrams, photographs, charts, tables, graphs, three appendices: "Classification and systematics of the Butterflies", "Higher Classification of the Nymphalidae", and a list of genera in the figures in chapter 2 ("Pattern Elements and Homologies"), a bibliography and an index.--BIOSIS.

Book excerpt: Few things in nature are more miraculous than the total transformation that takes place during the life cycle of a butterfly. Not only is the transformation fantastic, but the "LIFE LESSONS" that can be learned from this transformation are equally fantastic! Unfortunately many of the most basic facts about the butterfly life cycle are misunderstood and inaccurately taught. Follow the captivating and colorful butterfly life cycle from egg, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, to adult butterfly. But life is not always as simple as it may seem, as two little caterpillars soon discover. The two happy little caterpillars are enjoying a day of fun when they are confronted by butterflies from a neighboring tree who tease the little caterpillars for not having wings. Inspired and encouraged by their mother, the little caterpillars find hope and courage that one day they too will be as beautiful as their mother. In addition to a wonderful and captivating story, each beautifully illustrated page is loaded with amazing facts that will have you saying, "I never knew that!" For example: Did you know that the term "cocoon," when referring to a butterfly, is not correct? Do you know what the difference is between a cocoon and a chrysalis? Did you know that the chrysalis of a butterfly, often incorrectly referred to as a cocoon, is not "spun" by the caterpillar? It's true! A butterfly does not come from a cocoon. Furthermore, a chrysalis is not spun by the caterpillar. Do you know the four stages of the butterfly life cycle? How does the transition between each of the four butterfly life cycle stages occur? Why does a caterpillar eat only leaves and plants, and yet when that same caterpillar becomes a butterfly it can sip only sweet nectar for sustenance? How far will a caterpillar travel in its lifetime? How long does a caterpillar remain a caterpillar? What does a caterpillar do when it gets thirsty? How long does an adult butterfly live? These, and many more amazing facts are taught alongside a wonderful and inspiring story.

Download or read book The Language of Butterflies written by Wendy Williams and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “deeply personal and lyrical book” (Publishers Weekly) from the New York Times bestselling author of The Horse, Wendy Williams explores the lives of one of the world’s most resilient creatures—the butterfly—shedding light on the role that they play in our ecosystem and in our human lives. “[A] glorious and exuberant celebration of these biological flying machines…Williams takes us on a humorous and beautifully crafted journey” (The Washington Post). From butterfly gardens to zoo exhibits, these “flying flowers” are one of the few insects we’ve encouraged to infiltrate our lives. Yet, what has drawn us to these creatures in the first place? And what are their lives really like? In this “entertaining look at ‘the world’s favorite insect’” (Booklist, starred review), New York Times bestselling author and science journalist Wendy Williams reveals the inner lives of these delicate creatures, who are far more intelligent and tougher than we give them credit for. Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles each year from Canada to Mexico. Other species have learned how to fool ants into taking care of them. Butterflies’ scales are inspiring researchers to create new life-saving medical technology. Williams takes readers to butterfly habitats across the globe and introduces us to not only various species, but “digs deeply into the lives of both butterflies and [the] scientists” (Science magazine) who have spent decades studying them. Coupled with years of research and knowledge gained from experts in the field, this accessible “butterfly biography” explores the ancient partnership between these special creatures and humans, and why they continue to fascinate us today. “Informative, thought-provoking,” (BookPage, starred review) and extremely profound, The Language of Butterflies is a “fascinating book [that] will be of interest to anyone who has ever admired a butterfly, and anyone who cares about preserving these stunning creatures” (Library Journal).
