Monthly Catalogue | NHBS December 2017 Monthly Catalogue Welcome to the December 2017 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month. Several of the larger publishers have released their spring catalogues for next year, so we have a strong list of titles this month Birdwatchers can look forward to Birds of the Philippines from Harper Collins (April), and two field guides from Princeton University Press: Birds of Prey of the West and Birds of Prey of the East (both May). A paperback version of Simon Barner's The Meaning of Birds is due in May. Oxford University Press will publish Birds in the Ancient World: Winged Words in May, which takes a look at the role of birds in ancient history. The most exciting title, though is Pelagic Publishing's The Ascent of Birds: How Modern Science is Revealing their Story (March). For botanists, we can offer Lady Tankerville’s Legacy: A Historical and Monographic Review of Phaius and Gastrorchis from NHP Borneo of which stock is on its way. Tony Juniper is writing Rainforest: Dispatches from Earth's Most Vital Frontlines (March), and Kew will publish Plants That Kill: A Natural History of the World's Most Poisonous Plants (January). Ivy press, meanwhile, continues their series of large photographic books with The Book of Seeds: A Lifesize Guide to Six Hundred Species from around the World (February). Lastly, for mycologists, we have Myxomycetes: Biology, Systematics, Biogeography and Ecology. If you are interested in other animal groups, Hedgehog, the next New Naturalist, is currently due for April. NHP Borneo has just published A Taxonomic Guide to the Stick Insects of Singapore, which is the third book in this series, and CABI has announced British and Irish Butterflies: An Island Perspective for May. Herpetologists can look out for Snakes of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East: A Photographic Guide (May) from Princeton, which is a translation of a French field guide. More general wildlife titles are coming, with The Collins Press publishing Ireland's Seashore: A Field Guide in March and Princeton publishing Wildlife of Madeira and the Canary Islands: A Photographic Field Guide to Birds, Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Butterflies and Dragonflies in May. We also just discovered two interesting guides to underwater life in Southern Turkey: The Diving Guide: Kas and Red Sea in the Med: A View from the Kas. Wildlife travellers have two new Crossbill Guides to look out for, Dordogne, France and Southern Portugal - Algarve and Alentejo (both March) For palaeontologists, there are two titles to highlight: Siri Scientific Press's Fossils of Folkestone, Kent (January) and Pan Macmillan's The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: The Untold Story of a Lost World (May) from the hand of American palaeontologist Steve Brusatte. If you fondly remember Princeton's The Unfeathered Bird, you will be very excited by Katrina van Grouw's next book: Unnatural Selection (May) celebrates Darwin's writings on evolution under domestication and is accompanied by her wonderful illustrations. Yale University Press has announced Feats of Strength: How Evolution Shapes Animal Athletic Abilities for May. And we have several titles on biodiversity and conservation: Princeton will publish A Theory of Global Biodiversity in May, C Hurst & Co have recently released The Extinction Market: Wildlife Trafficking and How to Counter it, and Global Wildlife Conservation (formerly Conservation International) have published Back from the Brink: 25 Conservation Success Stories, which is a large photographic book. Finally, two other titles are worth mentioning. We just discovered an important title on environmental history from the University of Oklahoma Press, Prelude to the Dust Bowl: Drought in the Nineteenth-Century Southern Plains, published last year. And many academics will be served by the advice in the forthcoming The Effective Scientist: A Handy Guide to a Successful Academic Career (March) which looks well beyond how to write and publish papers. As always, if you are looking for a particular title that we do not yet have in our range, or you would like to suggest a title for NHBS to stock, please do get in touch.

  • Ant-Like Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) of the Uk, Ireland and Channel Isles
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 99 ANT-LIKE FLOWER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ANTHICIDAE) OF THE UK, IRELAND AND CHANNEL ISLES DMITRY TELNOV Stopinu novads, Darza iela 10, LV-2130, Dzidrinas, Latvia; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Anthicidae or ant-like flower beetles of the UK, Ireland and Channel Isles are reviewed. A species list, identification key, short diagnoses and illustrations of all taxa are given. Brief information on known ecological preferences of species is given. Key words: identification, distribution, key, United Kingdom, Ireland, fauna, ecology. INTRODUCTION Anthicidae are a cosmopolitan family of small to medium-sized, fast-moving beetles of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Anthicidae are represented in the World fauna by approximately 100 genera, and about 3500 species (Chandler, 2010). Only a few species are known from the fossil record. The last revision of the British Anthicidae was published by F. D. Buck (1954) in the well-known series Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Since then, there have been numerous nomenclatural changes within Anthicidae, and some additional species (introduced) have been recorded from the UK, making Buck’s key out of date. During 2004 and 2005 a total of 3356 specimens of Anthicidae from the UK and Ireland were examined by the author, mainly from the collections of The Natural History Museum (London), Oxford University Museum of Natural History and National Museum of Ireland. Additional data for more than 2100 specimens were received from other British museums and private collections between 2005 and 2007. A new key and short diagnoses for the genera are presented, as well as data on habitats and general distribution of species.

  • A REVIEW of the ANTHICIDAE of the MALTESE ISLANDS (CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN) (Coleoptera) Recent Studies Carried out on Collections
    Fragmenta entomologica, Roma. 35 (2): 77-127 (2003) A REVIEW OF THE ANTHICIDAE OF THE MALTESE ISLANDS (CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN) (Coleoptera) GIANLUCA NARDI (*) and DAVID MIFSUD (**) INTRODUCTION Recent studies carried out on collections of Anthicidae from the Maltese Islands have resulted in new data, which is included in the present work. This study is mostly based on material collected between 1990 and 2003 (ca. 700 specimens) but also on collections (ca. 200 specimens) made at the beginning of last century. The latter collections formed the basis of the Anthicidae list published by Malcom Cameron and Alfredo Caruana Gatto in 1907 on Maltese beetles. HISTORICAL REVIEW The following review is provided due to the fact that previous authors have omitted some works (Caruana Gatto 1893; Cameron 1903; Andres 1916; Krekich-Strassoldo 1919; Koch 1931; Hille 1984; Schembri 1990) that mentioned Anthicidae collected from the Maltese Islands. Only the works that cite with certainty Maltese material are hereunder included; works (e.g. Luigioni 1929) which most probably repeated earlier references are not included. The Maltese naturalist Alfredo Caruana Gatto (1893) in his work entitled "Common beetles of the Maltese Islands" published the first records of Anthicidae from the Maltese Islands. In this work, five species were mentioned. Pic (1903a) described Anthicus (Aulacoderus) melitensis on the (*) Centro Nazionale per 10 Studio e la Conservazione della BiodiversWt Forestale - Corpo Forestale della Stato.

  • Bionomics and Distribution of the Stag Beetle, Lucanus Cervus (L.) Across Europe*
    Insect Conservation and Diversity (2011) 4, 23–38 Bionomics and distribution of the stag beetle, Lucanus cervus (L.) across Europe* DEBORAH J. HARVEY,1 ALAN C. GANGE,1 COLIN J. HAWES1 and 2 MARKUS RINK 1School of Biological Sciences, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, UK and 2Bad Bertricher Str. 4, 56859 Alf, Germany Abstract. 1. The European stag beetle, Lucanus cervus, is thought to be widely dis- tributed across its range, but a detailed description of its occurrence is lacking. 2. Researchers in 41 countries were contacted and information sought on various life history characteristics of the insect. Data on adult body size were collected from seven countries. 3. Habitat associations differ between the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. Larvae are most commonly associated with oak, but the duration of the larval stage and the number of instars varies by up to 100% across Europe. 4. Adult size also varies; beetles from Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands are larger than those from Belgium or the UK. In the former countries, populations are composed mainly of large individuals, while in the UK, the majority of individuals are relatively small. Allometric relations between mandible size and total body length differ in Germany compared with the rest of Europe. 5. Distribution maps of the insect, split into records pre- and post-1970, from 24 countries are presented. While these inevitably suffer from recorder bias, they indi- cate that in only two countries, Croatia and Slovakia, does the insect seem to be increasing in range. 6. Our data suggest that the insect may be in decline across Europe, most likely due to habitat loss, and that conservation plans need to be produced that focus on the biology of the insect in the local area.

  • A Review of the Beetles of Great Britain
    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR134 A review of the beetles of Great Britain The Soldier Beetles and their allies Species Status No.16 First published 20 January 2014 www.gov.uk/natural-england Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background Making good decisions to conserve species should primarily be based upon an objective process of determining the degree of threat to the survival of a species. The recognised international approach to undertaking this is by assigning the species to one of the IUCN threat categories. This report was commissioned to update the threat status of beetles from the named families from work originally undertaken in 1987, 1992 and 1994 respectively using the IUCN methodology for assessing threat. It is expected that further invertebrate status reviews will follow. Natural England Project Manager - Jon Webb, [email protected] Contractor - Buglife (project management), K.N.A. Alexander (author) Keywords - beetles, invertebrates, red list (iucn), status reviews Further information This report can be downloaded from the Natural England website: www.naturalengland.org.uk.
