Reviews

Jiggins provides a review of recent and classical work on Heliconius that is exhaustive enough to interest specialists, without losing general readers in the process. The Ecology and Evolution of Heliconius Butterflies is destined to become a standard textbook in the libraries of both lepidopterists and evolutionary biologists. * George Poinar Jr, he Quarterly Review of Biology *
