The evolution of melanism: The study of a recurring necessity; with special reference to industrial melanism in the Lepidoptera - Hardcover
Synopsis
The title of this book has been carefully chosen. It does not pretend to cover all aspects of melanism, but it draws attention to the importance of melanism to the survival of species in nature. In particular it emphasizes the world-wide phenomenon of Industrial Melanism in the Lepidoptera, the most striking evolutionary change ever to have been analysed at a time when rapid evolution was actually taking place.
