Chris D. Jiggins, University Lecturer and Royal Society University Research Fellow, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge

Chris D. Jiggins is Professor of Evolutionary Biology at the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, Director of Studies and Fellow at St John's College, Research Associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. His research group is currently working on many aspects of Heliconius evolutionary biology, including evolutionary developmental biology of wing patterning, the genetic and behavioural basis for speciation, the sensory ecology of mimicry and analysis of the Heliconius melpomene genome.

"An excellent book for individuals wanting a primer on understanding the relationship between ecology and evolution. The book is well organized and is quite comprehensive, providing a wealth of information that is easily digestible while, in select cases, presenting both sides of an argument for questions in the field with no consensus." - Chris D. Jiggins, Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine

"Jiggins provides a review of recent and classical work on Heliconius that is exhaustive enough to interest specialists, without losing general readers in the process. The Ecology and Evolution of Heliconius Butterflies is destined to become a standard textbook in the libraries of both lepidopterists and evolutionary biologists." - George Poinar Jr, ^{he Quarterly Review of Biology}
