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: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Book excerpt: My name is Chin Lo, I learned to write my name at the age of five. My mother taught me, she said, "you must be strong, the road before you will be long, only you can decide the path you will take."After this day, the first day I wrote my name, and said it aloud, my mother smacked me across the face and said, "never forget". From that day forward my mother would call me "Yoshi," but rarely was I referred to as such, as it is the custom to refer to a person by what they do, their profession. I therefore, was more often referred to as the Butterfly Catchers Daughter.But on this day, this very first day of my transformation, I didn't question my mother's words, nor that with one stroke of a brush, my whole life had changed.At the age of eight, my father requested I go with him to Nagasaki where he'd been commissioned by the great Shogun Harsamo to apply his trade. My father was to be paid a great deal of money for his services and had been provided his own house, this was a great honor and so I agreed to go.My parents were unlucky to have three sons, two would have been a blessing but a third son would draw attention and would be taken by the military by the age of two, to be trained as a soldier. They naturally had hoped for a daughter but this was not to be their karma. A daughter they could sell, a daughter might have saved the family from debt. And so it was, that I became the daughter required to save face in this highly traditional world I knew nothing about.

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?

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).
