Melanism is a particularly exciting phenomenon in terms of our understanding of evolution. Unlike many other polymorphisms, the rise of a melanic population within a species is a visible alteration. Not only this, but melanism may sometimes occur dramatically quickly compared to other evolutionary change. Examples of melanism include one of the most famous illustrations of Darwinian natural selection, the peppered moth. This book, the first written on melanism since 1973, gives a lucid and up-to-date appraisal of the subject. The book is divided into ten chapters. The first four chapters place melanism into its historical and scientific context, with illustrations of its occurrence, and physical and genetic properties. Chapters 5-9 look in more detail at melanism in moths and ladybirds, explaining the diversity of evolutionary reasons for melanism, and the complexities underlying this apparently simple phenomenon. The final chapter shows how the study of melanism has contibuted to our understanding of biological evolution as a whole. Written in an engaging and readable style, by an author whose enthusiasm and depth of knowledge is apparent throughout, this book will be welcomed by all students and researchers in the fields of evolution, ecology, entomology, and genetics. It will also be of relevance to professional and amateur entomologists and lepidopterists alike.</jats:p>"}]}],"creator":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380862720287828352","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Michael E N Majerus"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge"}]}],"publication":{"publicationIdentifier":[{"@type":"ISBN","@value":"9780198549833"},{"@type":"ISBN","@value":"9781383028263"}],"dc:publisher":[{"@value":"Oxford University PressOxford"}],"prism:publicationDate":"1998-01-29"},"reviewed":"false","createdAt":"2023-11-03","modifiedAt":"2023-11-03","relatedProduct":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360002219421934848","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Sexual Dimorphism in Melanin Pigmentation, Feather Coloration and Its Heritability in the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360004237519295744","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Viability Is Associated with Melanin-Based Coloration in the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360004237526120064","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Adaptation of Pelage Color and Pigment Variations in Israeli Subterranean Blind Mole Rats, Spalax Ehrenbergi"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360283693187742336","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Modelling the maintenance of egg polymorphism in avian brood parasites and their hosts"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360285710487627648","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Geographic variation of color polymorphism in two sibling ladybird species,<scp><i>H</i></scp><i>armonia yedoensis</i>and<scp><i>H</i></scp><i>. axyridis</i>(<scp>C</scp>oleoptera:<scp>C</scp>occinellidae)"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360285712520783488","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Sexually Dimorphic Body Color Is Regulated by Sex-Specific Expression of Yellow Gene in Ponerine Ant, Diacamma Sp"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360846643918746368","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Spatiotemporal abnormality dynamics of the pale grass blue butterfly: three years of monitoring (2011–2013) after the Fukushima nuclear accident"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1390282680450872192","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@language":"en","@value":"Pigmentation and behavior: potential association through pleiotropic genes in <i>Drosophila</i>"},{"@value":"Pigmentation and behavior : potential association through pleiotropic genes in Drosophila"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1523951030013245568","@type":"Article","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Does the thermal advantage of melanism produce size differences in color-dimorphic snakes?"},{"@language":"ja-Kana","@value":"Does the thermal advantage of melanism produce size differences in color dimorphic snakes"}]}],"dataSourceIdentifier":[{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1093/oso/9780198549833.001.0001"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1186/s12862-015-0297-1_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1111/j.1420-9101.2012.02484.x_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1371/journal.pone.0092875_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1371/journal.pone.0069346_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1266/ggs.88.165_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.2108/zsj.26.698_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1371/journal.pone.0058024_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1371/journal.pone.0060426_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1111/ens.12147_references_DOI_AA4ulMGMb7BdG3HUGuCGJ8FDVeK"}]}
