The Other Lepidoptera: Moth Conservation in Australia
ISBN: 9783031321054 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conservation interest in moths, by far the predominant components of Lepidoptera, lags far behind that for butterflies, for which conservation practice provides many well-established lessons for extension to their near relatives. The needs of moths are at least as great, but their greater richness and variety, and far poorer documentation of diversity and biology over much of the world contribute to this lack of attention. Australia’s rich moth fauna, largely endemic and of global interest, illustrates many of the problems of developing wider interest and support for moth...
