Für immer verloren?
Gründe des Aussterbens Es gibt viele Gründe, warum Insekten aussterben. Der häufigste Grund ist wie immer die Zerstörung des Lebensraums (Habitat) und die Ausrottung der Pflanzen, von denen sich die Art ernährt. Ob diese Zerstörung absichtlich oder unabsichtlich herbeigeführt wurde, spielt dabei keine Rolle. Als Beispiel für eine unabsichtliche Lebensraum-Zerstörung ist das Einführen von fremden Arten, die die Vegetation vernichten und deswegen auch die darauf angewiesenen Insekten zum Aussterben bringen. Zum Beispiel vernichteten auf diese Art und Weise auf der Insel Laysan die dort eingeführten Wildkaninchen den Eulenfalter Agrotis laysanensis, Rothschild, 1894, wodurch die Haup...

The Collected Works of Jo Ann Beard
'Too good... You should read her and not look away' Anne Enright, Guardian 'The stories are essays, the essays are stories. Even when they are not literally true, they contain the kind of truth that great fiction thrives on' The Times 'Literature's best kept secret' Independent Weaving a complex tapestry drawn from interviews, anecdotes, moments from Beard's own life, and sheer imagination, these extraordinary pieces embody the hospitality of spectacular writing: they are spaces you fall into and are reluctant to leave. From the intimate drama of everyday life - school crushes, dog clinics, divorce - to the terror and excitement of a fox lurking by a campsite or a murderer in your home, Beard flawlessly distils what it means to live deeply as we hurtle through wonder and grief, love and heartbreak. Bringing together pieces from Beard's first collection, The Boys of My Youth, and Festival Days, which was published two decades later, The Collected Works showcases Jo Ann Beard's impressive breadth, quiet brilliance, and timeless prose.

A Certain Summer
Nothing ever changes at Wauregan... That is the mystique of the idyllic island summer colony, the comforting belief its multi-generation families have lived by for half a century.
