Editorial Reviews
Review
'There are very few insect books of such expansive scope, and this one could be a standard text for years. It will be welcomed by specialists in entomology, biodiversity, mass extinction, evolution and half-a-dozen associated fields. ... it is much more than an expert book for experts; it should appeal to everyone interested in the fast-diminishing biodiversity of our planet. All in all, this is an expensive book that is excellent value.' Nature
'A masterly synthesis of needs and progress within the discipline, ranging over a wide array of topics and illuminated by examples from many parts or the world ... Sutherlands' well-produced and significant book ... [is] ... assured of a leading place in the record of the scientific and practical development of insect conservation.' T. R. New, La Trobe University
Book Description
Reviewing the background and ethics of insect conservation as well as current threats to insect diversity, this book explains the reasoning behind, and the techniques used, to maintain and protect insect diversity. Insect conservation has recently become a significant component of conservation biology because insects make up such a large proportion of total species numbers and biomass.
