Rezensionen
"New's Insect Conservation: Past, Present and Prospects, gives the reader ... a sweeping vision of the history, present-day research, and future directions of insect conservation. ... the authors explore the pitfalls and challenges of insect conservation and present new directions for the discipline to take. ... It succeeds wonderfully in providing an in-depth coverage of the field of insect conservation, and it is certain to be the leading text for college students and conservation researchers for years to come." (Scott R. Shaw, Conservation Biology, Vol. 29 (5), 2015)
