Worlds within worlds: An introduction to biology

Harcourt, Brace. Jovanovich

With illustration of the life histories of many of our butterflies by C. M. Dammers (most published for the first time) and John A. Comstock, this present book will be especially valuable to the student in understanding the biology and adaptation of the species and subspecies found in southern California. We would like to mention several specific points for the benefit of those who will be using this book: 1. In the color-plates figure caption, the data on brief locality labels have been amplified by adding the county names or other qualifying information to enable future workers to locate the geographic sources of these specimens. 2. The principle mountain ranges of southern California, commonly referred to in the text, are shown in Figure 1. 3. The Life Zone concept is used to describe distributions of butterflies largely restricted to a characteristic zone, aside from mentioning typical plant associations in each account of a butterfly species. 4. We have included authors' names for all food-plants listed. Note that botanists use a slightly different system of author citations than entomologists. 5. The arrangement of species reflects our preferences and ideas regarding phylogenetic relationships. 6. Finally, it should be stated that this book incorporates the latest data available to us through March, 1973.

This is an illustrated treatment of and guide to all the fossil and present-day species of butterflies in one of the richest areas in North America for butterfly diversity and study. For much of the year, the meadows, forests, and grassy slopes of the Florissant region of central Colorado are alive with butterflies - nearly 100 species of these fascinating and beautiful creatures. Many of them have unusual life histories: the larvae (caterpillars) of one species take two years to mature; others develop close associations with ants; and the adults of some species live only a few days, whereas others survive for months in winter hibernation. Central Colorado is also the site of the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, which has yielded 12 of the 44 known species of butterfly fossils in the world. To find fossils of these delicate-winged creatures in such a perfect state of preservation is one of the major wonders of nature, since the fossils have endured 35 million years of geologic activity, erosion, and climate change (remarkably, most of the fossil species are closely related to various present-day species).
