SECTION A: LANGUAGE AND CONCEPTS OF SYSTEMS THEORY Chapter A1: Reality, abstractions and systems Chapter A2: Types of systems Chapter A3: Structure and relationship in systems Chapter A4: Systems' states Chapter A5: Measurement of relationships in systems Chapter A6: Catering for taxa and phylogenies Chapter A7: Systematic reviews of research findings: meta-analysis and evidence-based programmes SECTION B: PERSPECTIVES ON BUTTERFLY BIOLOGY Chapter B1: Taxonomic constraints in biological systems Chapter B2: The time frame in butterfly biology systems Chapter B3: The space frame for butterfly biology systems Chapter B4: Habitat: the context for individuals and populations Chapter B5: The butterfly body frame: basic contrasts in butterfly biology Chapter B6: Trade-offs and regulation in butterfly biology Chapter B7: Model taxa Chapter B8: Butterfly databases Chapter B9: Basic connections and broad divisions in butterfly biology SECTION C: BUTTERFLY LIFE HISTORY - BASIC TRADE-OFFS IN REPRODUCTION, DEVELOPMENT AND SURVIVAL Chapter C1: Size, brood number and development: fewer large eggs or more small eggs? Chapter C2: Conundrum of larval growth: fast and small, slow and large, or neither? Chapter C3: Alternatives to continuous development: to stay and adjust or leave? Chapter C4: Single or gregarious living? Host drivers and taxon dependence Chapter C5: Conundrums in mating: when, how often and how long? Chapter C6: Income versus capital breeders: Invest now and pay later, or pay as you go? Chapter C7: Mechanisms for survival: an arsenal for all occasions Chapter C8: Mimicry: honest and dishonest signals of unpalatability Chapter C9: Mechanisms extending survival into exploitation Chapter C10: Adult lifespan: the implications of living for longer SECTION D: BUTTERFLY BEHAVIOUR - INTERACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS IN THE HABITAT Chapter D1: The context and dimensions for observing individual behaviour Chapter D2: Basking modes, heat and water balance: adjustments to abiotic conditions Chapter D3: Adult Feeding - refuelling strategies Chapter D4: Mate location - finding suitable mates Chapter D5: Courtship - doing the business Chapter D6: Roost and rest sites - taking a break Chapter D7: Egg laying - unloading the next generation Chapter D8: Larval feeding - body building under duress Chapter D9: Choosing pupation sites - selecting sites for the final transformation Chapter D10: Adult anti-predator behaviour - life and death in the habitat
