Résumé :
|
The book can be divided in 6 parts consisting of 13 chapters. It starts with a chapter on the foundations for insect conservation. The next four chapters address the three operational scales of insect conservation: (i) the conservation of landscapes (coarse filter), (ii) the conservation of landscape features (meso-filter) (Chapters 2 and 3) and (iii) the conservation of a focal species or groups of species in a particular area (fine filter, Chapters 4 and 5). The following four chapters focus on the conservation of insects in different habitats or groups of habitats, namely farmland (Chapter 6), forests, grasslands and caves (Chapter 7), freshwater ecosystems (Chapter 8) and urban ecosystems (Chapter 9). Chapter 10 looks at the importance of habitat restoration for insect conservation. The next two chapters consider ecological assessment (Chapter 11) and monitoring (Chapter 12) in insect conservation. The book concludes with a chapter on the efforts that are necessary for a future-proof world for insects (Chapter 13).
