C. (Reginald Crundall) 16009061 Mimicry in Butterflies Produced by Chris Curnow, Keith Edkins and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Mimicry in Butterflies" by Reginald Crundall Punnett is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the fascinating topic of mimicry in butterfly species, examining how variations in appearance among butterflies can provide them with adaptive advantages against predators. It highlights key cases and theories, notably the distinctions between Batesian and Müllerian mimicry, aiming to make complex biological concepts accessible to a broader audience. The opening of the work establishes the author's motivation to provide a comprehensive yet concise examination of mimicry, mentioning that the book targets various readers, including those visiting tropical regions where butterflies are abundant and diverse. Punnett sets the stage by discussing the historical context of Darwin's theory of natural selection while introducing the concept of mimicry as an exploration of adaptation in nature. He emphasizes how mimicry serves as a pivotal example of evolutionary processes and invites readers to consider the intriguing aspects of butterfly life and the intricate relationships between models and mimics in the animal kingdom.
