Publisher's Synopsis
On Dimorphism In The Hymenopterous Genus Cynips is a scientific book written by Benjamin Dann Walsh and published in 1864. The book focuses on the study of the Cynips genus, which is a group of parasitic wasps. The main theme of the book is the phenomenon of dimorphism, which refers to the existence of two distinct forms of individuals within a species. The author explores the various types of dimorphism observed in the Cynips genus, including sexual, seasonal, and caste dimorphism. The book provides a detailed analysis of the anatomy, behavior, and life cycle of the Cynips wasps, and includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in the understanding of the subject matter. The author also discusses the evolutionary implications of dimorphism, and how it relates to the survival and adaptation of species. Overall, On Dimorphism In The Hymenopterous Genus Cynips is a seminal work in the field of entomology, and remains an important reference for scientists studying the biology of parasitic wasps.With An Appendix, Containing Hints For A New Classification Of Cynipidae And A List Of Cynipidae, Including Descriptions Of Several New Species, Inhabiting The Oak-Galls Of Illinois.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
