 Chapter 6 - The Palatability of Papilio dardanus
The aim of this chapter is to assess the palatability of Papilio dardanus compared with a model for one of the female morphs, Amauris niavius (model for hippocoonides) or Danaus chrysippus (model for lamborni/trophonius).
The experiment was designed to test not only their initial reaction to ingesting a particular butterfly, but to then offer the birds a choice to determine whether or not they avoided the species they had just been exposed to, or preferred it to the new species which they had just been introduced to.
A graph of the data for Papilio dardanus (see Figure 6-5) shows that the position of the centre of mass for the species does not vary significantly with the length of the body (p=0.206), and shows that females have a centre of mass set consistently further posterior than males (p=0.0014; Mann-Whitney test, two-tailed).

The spectrum is vast, ranging from airy, lightly-scored Tambourins to the broad, sweeping gestures of the closing Chaconne—unquestionably amongst the composer's profoundest utterances.
In this he is well supported by the English Baroque Soloists who are on their best form, responding to the nuances of texture and allowing us to savour the rhythmic vitality of the score.

The scene in which Antenor and Dardanus fight with the monster provides one of the more convincingly performed passages of dialogue on this recording, a significant point because ensemble acting is actually one of the least successful areas.
This is a recording of a concert performance, and as so often the vital spark of dramatic continuity and urgency which can result from the performers having lived their parts on stage is not quite there.

This is not the first recording of Dardanus, there was a 1977 recording in ERATO with a marvelous cast that included Frederica von Stade, Christiane Eda-Pierre and Jose van Dam, but it was incompetently conducted by Raymond Leppard with an inadequate modern-instrument orchestra.
The finest singing on the recording is, appropriately, by the Dardanus, John Mark Ainsley, who takes himself completely seriously in the role - there is none of the tongue-in-cheek attitude that afflicts some singers in such parts, and he is equally credible as the conquering hero and the forlorn lover.
Dardanus is captured, but before Teucer can sacrifice him to the gods a sea monster appears and ravages the Phrygian coast.
