Close-ups of a miniature universe.
Que font toutes ces petites bêtes qui courent, rampent, fouissent et volent dans mon jardin ? Sont-elles nuisibles ? Utiles ? D’où viennent-elles et que trament-elles parmi nos légumes et nos fleurs dès qu’on a le dos tourné ? Faut-il les détruire ou au contraire les attirer ? Tigres,lions, rhinocéros, araignées loups, cet ouvrage nous dévoile tout un bestiaire insoupçonné qui arpente les rangs de poireaux et les carrés de salades. Collemboles, diploures, cécidomyies ? Jamais entendu parler… Pourtant j’apprends qu’il y en a plein dans mon jardin. Et ces grosses limaces qui sortent après la pluie, il paraît qu’elles ont un léopard dans leur famille ! Dans cet inven...
Microlepidoptera of Europe: Depressariidae is the tenth volume in this series, providing descriptions and illustrations which will enable identification of all 192 species. For preparation more than 10000 specimens have been studied, including East Palearctic species. Barcodes were taken from nearly 3000 specimens. As a result, 28 species were described as new to science, 22 of these present in Europe. For the first time in a guide to species identification in a family of European Microlepidoptera traditional taxonomy based on morphology is backed up by molecular evidence. The last revision of the family which covered all Europe was published in 1910.
The Scythrididae from Europe and North Africa are reviewed in this volume. It cover 237 specimens in 7 genera and is with 14 colour plates and line drawings of all species gentitalia.
A comprehensive english-language reference work on morphology, physiology and development of the moths and butterflies of the world. Written by a truly international team of specialists, the overall level of expertise of the book is unsurpassed, and several chapters present substantial amounts of original information. The book is richly illustrated, and all chapters have extensive bibliographies. Volume I has been published in 1998 and covers the evolution, systematics and biogeography of Lepidoptera. The goal of both volumes is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of this outstandingly important insect group.
This new guide to phytophagous beetles of Europe is devoted to the families Buprestidae, Elateridae, Cleridae and Cerambycidae. A host of species are described and illustrated, to help you recognise and identify almost all the Jewel beetle and Longhorn species you might encounter in Europe, ranging from Portugal and Great Britain to Finland and the Balkans. These include species quite recently described. The guide is packed with new information and discoveries, enriching the entries on the biology in general and the ethology and ecology of each species in particular, allowing for many additional host-plants found over the past few years. Distribution maps, drawn up in line with the most recent publications, feature alongside the descriptions. The new classification adopted is from the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, by Löbl and Smetana, published from 2003 to 2013, now used by all entomologists. This resolves many of the problems that stem from working with synonymies.
This comprehensive guide to the butterflies of Britain, Europe and North Africa describes and illustrates all 440 species, depicting both males and females and - where there is significant variation - subspecies. Distribution maps accompany every widespread species.
The Gnorimoschemini (Gelechiidae: Gelechiinae) of Europe are reviewed in this volume. A total of 211 species is recognized, including two species not yet found in Europe and two others recently introduced. Descriptions and diagnoses are accompanied by colour figures of the adults (532 specimens are illustrated on 21 colour plates), usually depicting variation, and black and white photographs of male and female genitalia characters. Notes on distribution and bionomics are added for every species.
