Having received such lavish praise for the first volume of his definitive taxonomic handbook, Daniel Otte now turns his attention to the bandwing grasshoppers. As before, the book includes:

* highly detailed, full-color drawings of all species, including more than one color phase when appropriate;
* illustrated keys and lists of principal recognition features;
* information on distributional limits, habitat preferences, ecology, behavior, and life cycle;
* excellent point-distribution maps;
* pertinent references, taxonomic index, history of name changes, and an...

Daniel Otte offers a comprehensive taxonomic treatise on all known species of grasshoppers from the Gulf of Panama to Alaska. Grasshoppers are a dominant form of life in most terrestrial habitats. The abundance of grasshoppers and the ease of obtaining them have brought about their extensive use in a wide variety of biological studies. It is probably fair to say that grasshoppers are biologically better understood than any equivalent group of insects. They were used in pioneering studies in genetics and are increasingly being used to test evolutionary, ecological, and physiological...
