Evolutionary Studies on Maniola jurtina (Lepidoptera, Satyridae): The “Boundary Phenomenon” in Southern England, 1961 to 1968

  • Chapter
Essays in Evolution and Genetics in Honor of Theodosius Dobzhansky

Abstract

We are paying our respects to Professor Th. Dobzhansky on his seventieth birthday by publishing in his honour the long-accumulated results of a specific piece of research in ecological genetics. Indeed we feel that no better way could be found of acknowledging the achievements of one who has advanced so greatly the experimental study of evolution.
