Beschreibung:

Using Australian examples to discuss taxonomic and ecological diversity, this non-technical book introduces basic entomology. It emphasizes perspectives on insect diversity important in conservation assessment and setting priorities for management.

The book introduces basic entomology, emphasising perspectives on insect diversity important in conservation assessment and setting priorities for management, as a foundation for managers and others without entomological training or background. It bridges the gap between photographic essays on insect identification and more technical texts, to illustrate and discuss many aspects of taxonomic, ecological and evolutionary diversity in the Australian insect fauna, and its impacts in human life, through outlines of many aspects of insect natural history.
