商品描述

This book provides for the first time an integrative analysis of the major drivers of decline and threats of insects and related arthropods in the Neotropical region. Thus, it is an urgent first step towards filling an information gap in this region. It identifies the main causes of decline, provides and discusses examples from the better-studied insect faunas to develop and advance principles and practical conservation management for the rich Neotropical insect faunas.

The book is aimed at students, naturalists, environmental managers, and others who have training in entomology/insect ecology and can apply the results of surveys of key insect faunas to assess their vulnerability to environmental change and establish guidelines for their conservation.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書首次提供了對新熱帶地區昆蟲和相關節肢動物衰退和威脅的整合分析。因此,這是填補該地區信息空白的迫切第一步。它確定了衰退的主要原因,提供並討論了來自研究較為深入的昆蟲動物群的例子,以制定和推進豐富的新熱帶昆蟲動物群的原則和實際保護管理。

本書針對具有昆蟲學/昆蟲生態學培訓並能應用關鍵昆蟲動物群調查結果來評估其對環境變化的脆弱性並建立保護指南的學生、自然學家、環境管理人員和其他人士。
