Genetic Mechanisms of Speciation in Insects Symposia held at the XIVth International Congress of Entomology, Canberra, Australia August 22–30, 1972, sponsored by the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Entomological Society

Two Symposia on speciation in insects held at the Fourteenth International Congress of Entomology (Canberra, Australia, August 22-30, 1972) are included in this volume. The first, on the more general topic of Genetic Analysis of Speciation Mechanisms, includes four papers on speciation in various gr...
