Sinopsis
Many butterflies have declined in abundance during recent decades, and aspects of their conservation engender concern and effort in many parts of the world. This book is a broad survey of the emerging science of butterfly conservation. It traces the more general concern for invertebrate well-being, the causes of butterfly decline and - within the context of a summary of butterfly biology and using examples from several countries - illustrates how attempts are now in progress to conserve particular butterfly species, local assemblages and whole faunas. The references and practical advice given should be of interest to a wide range of entomologists, naturalists and conservationists.

The book has been covered in contact and there is an ownership signature on the front end paper, else a clean, unmarked and solid copy."This book provides a broad survey of the science of butterfly conservation, together with a rationale for conserving butterflies. It introduces butterfly classification and biology, and discusses the causes of declining populations. Current attempts in several countries to conserve particular species, local assemblages and whole butterfly faunas are described. For this edition, Tim New has added sections dealing with recent developments, such as the impact of the 'metapopulation concept' on understanding butterfly populations and their management. He has also comprehensively incorporated the results of recently published research. This book will be of interest to entomologists, naturalists and conservationists, and will be especially valuable to those studying the conservation and management of invertebrates."

paperback. Condición: Very Good. Paperback. Very mild edge wear. Former owner and butterfly expert, L. Brower, has written "ON EN" which refers to ENDNOTE, the bibliographical program that he used to organize his books, in silver sharpie on spine. Cover is otherwise neat and clean. Corners are square. Binding is tight and secure. Brower has written "1st Ed 1991 LPB received 2nd ed, 98" on the half title page in black ink. Pages are otherwise crisp, clean, and bright. Oxford University Press Australia. Copyright page dated 1991. A very nice copy. We've got a wonderful bookcase or two of books from Lincoln Brower's collection listed here. Everything you know about Monarch Butterflies, you know because of Brower's work, both scientific and outreach. He was a great teacher, an important researcher, a torch-bearing conservationist, and a leading light in lepidoptery. We are extremely excited to offer his books. We ship everyday from a real neighborhood bookstore. This description is written by an actual person, who is holding the book in front of them to make sure it?s properly described. Please contact us with questions or if you would like to see photographs. Nº de ref. del artículo: Brower-130
