Beschreibung:
Insects are the major component of the world's biodiversity. By their vast numbers of both species and individuals, they are vital determinants of the terrestrial ecological processes. Quantitatively, insects are important pointers for the species-rich geographical areas. Qualitatively, they are also important, whether the subjects of conservation themselves or as tools for identifying biotic areas with high endemism.
Part 1 Setting the scene: insect variety and significance; past and present events leading to insect conservation concern; emergence of insect conservation biology. Part 2 Levels of analysis: scaling and large scale issues; the fragmented landscape; the disturbed landscape; individual insect species and their conservation. Part 3 Entomologists' dilemmas: insect pest control and insect conservation; insect conservation ethics. Part 4 Positive action: insects, the landscape and evaluation; stopping the loss of individuals, population species and landscapes.
