Butterflies and Dinosaurs (was Re: Glider questions)

>>There have been posts on this before, so I won't belabor it.  But the
article I think dbenson refers to is Kingsolver and Koehl,
Evolution, 39, 488 (1985).  Based on my notes, this article was also
described in _On the Origin of Insect Wings_Science, Vol. 230. 10/25/85 and
critiqued by S.J. Gould in _Not Necessarily a Wing_ Natural History, 10/85.
Kingsolver's  (et al) work was, I believe, based on earlier work by P.
Whalley in the late 70's. Someone else will have to look up that reference.

Ha!  Ratified!
So, what parallels can we draw from the Kingsolver and Koehl experiments to
dinosaurs?
