Butterflies are among the most seriously threatened groups of animals in Europe and their decline has reached alarming proportions in some areas. Occasionally, attempts are made at local, regional and national level in various countries to save some of the conspicious and rare species (scarcely with much success). Only a broad international approach allows an objective judgement to be formed and subsequently, effective conservation measures to be proposed. To fill a long outstanding gap in our scientific literature, this volume compiles, analyses, evaluates and applies the significant contemporary knowledge of conservation-relevant disciplines, such as taxonomy, biogeography etc., and makes recommendations for practical application. The stress is laid on the protection of habitats and communities. Wiesbaden. Aula. 323 pp., 57 figs, hardcover bound gr. 8 [15.5 x 23.5 cm] [with dust jacket].…

This concise bibliography of European butterflies comprises about 6.000 numbered bibliographical references to the European Papilionoidea arranged in alphabetical order according to authors, and a small number of more significant works on the closely related group of the skippers (Hesperiidae). The bibliography concentrates on the period from 1901 to 1983. Apart from purely lepidopterological papers and books, publications belonging to other scientific disciplines relevant to the study of butterflies are also included, as well as some most significant reference works on the related extra European geographical areas. A comprehensive subject index (systematic, by country, by key word) serves as a guide to significant papers and books listed under authors. Cross references to the titles listed in the bibliography will appear in the subsequently published volumes. Wiesbaden. Aula. 447 pp., hardcover gr. 8 [15.5 x 23.5 cm] [with dust jacket].…

Volume 2 of this series is a comprehensive introduction to the biology of butterflies. It includes a guide to the major museums institutes and societies which have been engaged in lepidopterological research, and which hold important libraries and are depositories of major butterfly collections. A Who s Who of lepidopterology provides information about great deceased European lepidopterologists. The presentation of the morphology of all stages of development is followed by a detailed discussion of various aspects of the phylogeny of our recent butterflies. This volume deals in full detail with such topics as genetics, laryotypesof families, genera and speciies; also with various enzyme electrophoretic methods, because of their importanceand application in systematics and phylogeny. Methods of breeding butterflies are clearly explained, teir parasites are described, and the volume concludes with a chapter on the behavior and movements of butterflies. Wiesbaden. Aula. 557 pp., 4 color plates with 32 photographs, 93 figs, 25 tabels, 2 diagrams, cloth bound gr. 8 [15.5 x 23.5 cm] [with dust jacket].…
