Large White Butterfly The Biology, Biochemistry and Physiology of Pieris Brassicae (Linnaeus)
The literature is still one of our biggest frustrations to-day. There is, in one sense, too much of it, and in another not enough - for there are insufficient and inadequate published guidelines through this jungle. Last year two excellent books for students of ecological chemistry were published, o...
