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 coloration (structural colors and nano-architecture), mating strategies and female choice (ecology and behavior). 384 pp, illus & 242 color photos Cloth, Feb 2020, 978 1 78924 263 8, $ 160.00 TO ORDER: Call 1.800.232.0223 Fax 703.661.1501 E-mail [email protected] Online www.StylusPub.com 1 FORTHCOMING (Gryllacrididae), King Crickets (Anostostomatidae) or the Transcriptomics so-called “Pygmy Mole Crickets” (Caelifera), which despite in Entomological their common names are not related to true crickets.
