Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Discover the strange, fascinating, and surprisingly tender world of burying beetles-nature's tiny undertakers. Burying Beetle Handbook is a complete beginner's guide to one of the most remarkable insects in the natural world. These carrion beetles do more than feed on dead animals. They locate small carcasses by scent, bury or conceal them, prepare them as nurseries, and care for their young in a way that makes them stand out among insects. Written in a clear and engaging style, this handbook explains how burying beetles find carrion, compete with rivals, dig beneath carcasses, raise larvae, survive seasonal changes, and contribute to decomposition and nutrient recycling. Readers will also learn about beetle anatomy, life cycle stages, habitat preferences, nighttime activity, predators, parasites, conservation concerns, and ethical observation skills. Whether you are a beginner naturalist, insect lover, student, wildlife observer, ecology reader, or curious backyard explorer, this guide offers a practical and fascinating look at the hidden cleanup crew working beneath leaves, soil, and woodland edges. Perfect for readers who want to learn about: - Burying beetle behavior and life cycle- Carrion beetles and decomposition- Insect parental care and larval development- Beetle habitat, seasons, and nighttime activity- How beetles find carcasses by scent- Nature's cleanup crew and nutrient recycling- Conservation of declining beetle species- Beginner-friendly insect observation and field skills Burying Beetle Handbook helps readers see death in nature not as an ending, but as part of a living cycle where beetles, soil, microbes, and wild habitats work together in quiet, essential ways.…

Zustand: New. 452, col photos, figs + tables. A4. HB. NEW. . Over the past decades, large amounts of data about carabids have been collected in the Netherlands, initially for the purpose of creating distribution maps for the country. In addition to information from collections and faunistic publications, a significant amount of data came from ecological studies using pitfall traps. Because of the rich tradition of carabidological research in the Netherlands, an exceptionally large database of these pitfall data is available. The database is a mix of approximately 1,500 short-term samples and circa 4,400 so-called 'year-samples', for which pitfalls were functional during the whole activity period of ground beetles in spring and autumn. These year-samples came from 2,850 sites, covering the period of 1953-2018, and represent all habitats on the Dutch landscape. These data offer an unusual view of the presence and activity of this common insect family.The data gathered from pitfall trapping is summarised and provides a fresh integrated perspective about the Dutch ground beetle fauna. The characteristic species composition of 17 habitat groups is described in detail. Over 320 species present in the database have been classified into six main groups, according to their patterns of habitat use. Both the classification of habitats and associated species have been tested and used in various analyses in the book. Two chapters give special attention to changes in the Dutch fauna over the past 66 years by means of extensive trend analysis and relate this understanding to nature conservation. The book provides an extension and update for Turin's (2000) atlas. The Dutch carabid fauna is discussed considering relevant literature but uses predominantly European studies to put the faunal patterns in broader context.This book presents the story of Dutch ground beetles and illustrates the contribution of pitfall trapping to our understanding of the ecology of this fascinating and unusually well-studied group of beetles.
