The main focus is on courtship and mating - including perching, searching and territorial behaviour - but to understand these subjects it is necessary to explain how mates are chosen and this requires sections on wing colours and patterns. 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 colouration (structural colours and nano-architecture), mating strategies and female choice (ecology and behaviour)"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aButterflies$xBehavior 606 $aCourtship in animals 615 0$aButterflies$xBehavior. 615 0$aCourtship in animals. 676 $a595.789156 700 $aCannon$b Raymond Julian Conway$01266410 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910627291503321 996 $aCourtship and mating in butterflies$92973080 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03615nam 22004453 450 001 9910165129403321 005 20230220084620.0 010 $a9781785432132 010 $a1785432133 035 $a(CKB)3710000001065215 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7197036 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7197036 035 $a(BIP)055795485 035 $a(Exl-AI)7197036 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001065215 100 $a20230220d2015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCelebrated Travels & Travellers - Pt 1 $e?Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.? 210 1$aLondon :$cCopyright Group,$d2015. 210 4$dİ2015. 215 $a1 online resource (246 pages) 225 1 $aCelebrated Travels & Travellers ;$vv.1 330 8 $aJules Gabriel Verne was born on February 8th, 1828 on le Feydeau, a small artificial island on the Loire River in Nantes. His father wanted his son to take over the family law practice. Jules started along this course and despite graduating with a licence en droit in January 1851 was soon diverted by the lure of literature and by his own ambitious talents in this direction. He wrote for the theatre and for magazines and soon with the publication of his first novel; Five Weeks in a Balloon on January 31st, 1863 he had begun his career as an admired and popular author. For many, many years the works flowed, usually no less than and often more than two volumes per year. His meticulous research and imaginative setting and narratives soon established him as a top selling author and he became both famous and wealthy. By publishing firstly as a serialised book and then as a complete book sales swelled as did his reputation. His earnings increased further due to the runaway success from the stage adaptations of Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (1874) and Michel Strogoff (1876), Strangely he was overlooked for honours. He was not even nominated for membership of the Acad mie Fran aise. After the death of both his mother and Hetzel, Jules began to publish darker works but still at a prodigious rate. In 1888, Jules entered politics and was elected town councillor of Amiens, and then served for fifteen years. Jules was now entering the last period of his life. His works continued to flow albeit at a slower pace. His reconciled with his son, Michel who now became an active contributor to his father's works and, when the senior Verne died, would continue to contribute and publish his father's works, ensuring that the work was kept in the public eye and the legacy preserved. On March 24th, 1905, while ill with diabetes, Jules Verne died at his home at 44 Boulevard Longueville, Amiens. As a legacy Jules Verne is forever remembered as 'The Father of Science Fiction'. With his rigorous research Jules was not only able to make his works realistic but also to project forward and predict many new things that would eventually come to pass - either in real life or as the basis for others to use in their own science fiction.
