Mimicry in Butterflies is a scientific study of the phenomenon of mimicry in butterflies, written by Reginald Crundall Punnett and first published in 1915. The book explores the remarkable ability of certain butterflies to mimic the appearance of other species, and the evolutionary advantages that this provides. Punnett examines the various forms of mimicry, including Batesian mimicry, in which a harmless species mimics the warning signals of a poisonous one, and M�����llerian mimicry, in which two or more poisonous species evolve similar warning signals. The book includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of many different species of butterflies, and Punnett's analysis of their evolutionary relationships and adaptations. Mimicry in Butterflies is a classic work of natural history, and remains an important reference for scientists and enthusiasts interested in the fascinating world of butterfly mimicry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
