Butterflies and Climate Change

By Roger L. H. Dennis

Butterflies are particularly sensitive to climate and are important bio-indicators of climatic change. This book not only explores how butterflies adapt to climatic gradients and weather patterns, but also shows how their biogeography and evolution have responded to climate change in the past, and how they are likely to respond in the future as the enhanced greenhouse effect increasingly alters the world's climate.
