About this Item

Butterflies are among the most seriously threatened groups of animals in Europe and their decline has reached alarming proportions in some areas. Occasionally, attempts are made at local, regional and national level in various countries to save some of the conspicious and rare species (scarcely with much success). Only a broad international approach allows an objective judgement to be formed and subsequently, effective conservation measures to be proposed. To fill a long outstanding gap in our scientific literature, this volume compiles, analyses, evaluates and applies the significant contemporary knowledge of conservation-relevant disciplines, such as taxonomy, biogeography etc., and makes recommendations for practical application. The stress is laid on the protection of habitats and communities. Wiesbaden. Aula. 323 pp., 57 figs, hardcover bound gr. 8 [15.5 x 23.5 cm] [with dust jacket].
