By virtue  of their vast numbers of both species and individuals, they are vital  determinants of terrestrial ecological processes. Quantiatively,  insects are important pointers for species-rich geographical areas.  Qualitatively, they are also important, whether the subjects of  conservation themselves or as tools for identifying biotic areas with  high endemism. \n                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                                  \n                \n                \u003cem\u003eInsect Conservation Biology\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                 covers a wide range of topics from  single species to landscape conservation, and from rare butterflies to  the benefits-and-risks of biocontrol agents. The approach is both  positive and realistic, with insects being discussed in the contexts  of sustainable development, agroecology and monitoring environmental  change. Ethical issues surrounding insects are also considered as well  as clear ecommendations for the future. \n                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                                  Conservation circles have given too little attention to the ecological  significance of insects, while entomologists have been engaged mostly  in controlling a tiny minority of species of insect pests. The realms  of conservationists and entomologists are brought together in this  ground-breaking book.\n            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780412634505\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9780412634505","offer_id":39415207264349,"sku":"9780412634505","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/21bd73d6-909b-49a1-aebc-bcfee916affd.jpg?v=1746158474","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/insect-conservation-biology-von-m-j-samways","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
