| 520 | 1 | |a "This groundbreaking book is an up-to-date, global synthesis of the rapidly developing and important field of insect conservation biology. This book addresses the ethical foundation of insect conservation, and asks why should we concern ourselves with conservation of a butterfly, beetle or bug. The success of insects and their diversity, which have survived the comings and goings of glaciers, is now facing a more formidable obstacle: the massive impact of humans. After addressing threats, from invasive alien plants to global climate change, the book explores ways in which insects and their habitats are prioritised, mapped, monitored and conserved. Landscape and species approaches are considered. This book is for undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and managers, both in conservation biology or entomology and the wider biological and environmental sciences."--BOOK JACKET. | |
