Western Palaearctic Zygaenidae
A complete handbook providing an extensive introduction to the biology, ecology and behaviour of the Zygaenidae. The introduction provides detailed information on zygaenid systematics and phylogeny, life cycles, morphology, zoogeography and palaeontology, genetics and individual variation, ecology and behaviour, conservation, collecting and breeding techniques. In the systematic part of the book, the 115 species of westen Palaearctic Zygaenidae, currently contained in the three subfamilies Procridinae, Chalcosiinae and Zygaeninae, are treated. Each species is briefly described, followed by differentiating characters of similar species, individual and geographical variation, distribution (with maps for each species), ecology, behaviour, early instars and larval foodplants. Colour plates illustrate all species and the male and female genitalia of the Procridinae are also figured. A bibliography provides references to the most relevant literature for those interested in current research.
A Systematic Catalogue of the Genus Zygaena Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae) / Ein Systematischer Katalog der Gattung Zygaena Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae)
It is forty years since Burgeff published, in 1926, the first comprehensive catalogue of the genus Zygaena Fabricius, forming part 33 of the Lepidopterorum Catalogus. Following the pattern and general layout of Burgeff's work, we have attempted to produce a catalogue in which all names in the genus Zygaena are included, with references to the literature where these names were originally published. Additional references are included when these refer to illustrations of a species, subspecies or form, or to a taxonomic change, e.g., a change in status. References to misidentifications are generally omitted unless a new species has been described at a later date. In compiling this work we have a...
The Lepidoptera of Europe
The first list to cover the entire European fauna of butterflies and moths since the famous Staudinger-Rebel Catalogue which was published as long ago as in 1901. A large number of European specialists have been working on the family/subfamily treatments, and the list has been checked by leading experts in the national faunas. The higher classification used in the checklist is in accordance with the most recent research as presented in the treatment of Lepidoptera in the series Handbook of Zoology. Hopefully the list will lead to uniformity in the systematics and nomenclature used in European lepidopterology. Besides being a checklist, The Lepidoptera of Europe also indicates in table form, ...
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...
