Condition: Fine. 567, text figs. . HB. Fine copy. Original printing. An important international synthesis of the then rapidly developing study of forest-canopy arthropods. The volume helped establish canopy entomology as a major field of ecological and biodiversity research, bringing together pioneering work on sampling methods, community structure, species richness and the ecological importance of the vast, largely undocumented arthropod fauna inhabiting the crowns of tropical and temperate forests.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Hardback Condition: Near Fine. Nice, clean second-hand copy. Pencil mark of previous price on the first free end-paper, foxing on the top of the edge. As forests are cut down, altered and fragmented, the communities of organisms associated with them are also affected. Predictions of global species extinction rates based on forest loss range 1% to 10% each decade. Because arthropods comprise the largest component of animal species richness, it is inevitable that many arthropod species will become extinct. Millions of these species are thought to live in the forest canopy. During the last twenty years recognition of the importance of canopy arthropods to global biodiversity and the crucial roles arthropods play in forests has led to a revolution in the study and understanding of the arthropod community structure in the forest canopy. Recent advances have been greatly aided by the development of improved sampling techniques and new methods of access to the forest canopy. Canopy Arthropods brings together for the first time a wide range of the most recent studies of arthropods living in forest canopies and comes from a truly international team of contributors.…
