This book brings together his findings with recent advances in behavioural ecology to provide an incomparable look at the social lives of butterflies, illuminating for the first time the marvellously diverse range of butterfly behaviours across several species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSocial Butterflies\u003c\/em\u003e features in-depth studies of five sympatric species—the Plain Ringlet, the Eyed Brown, the Great Spangled Fritillary, the Viceroy, and the Pearly Eye—showing how their social interactions span much of the range of behaviours observed in vertebrates. Drawing on decades of his own keen observations in the field, Horn describes the natural history and behavioural peculiarities of each species and develops models to explain characteristic aspects of their behaviours. He then emphasises key departures from these models to challenge the notion that butterflies are simply preconditioned to react to stimuli, showing how some make decisions by observing how other butterflies interact with the landscape and each other. Along the way, he sheds light on butterfly territoriality, mating tactics, vagrancy, feeding strategies, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCharting new directions for future research, \u003cem\u003eSocial Butterflies\u003c\/em\u003e poses intriguing questions about the complex and sometimes mystifying social behaviours of these marvellous creatures, making it essential reading for lepidopterists, ecologists, and anyone interested in the social behaviours of invertebrate species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854836846828,"sku":"9780691206301","price":89.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/199319988b3b303c4dda00efa59eb93d.jpg?v=1759264116"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/henry-s-horn.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
