Monthly Catalogue | NHBS January 2018 Monthly Catalogue Welcome to the January 2018 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month. The end of 2017 turned out very well with some excellent titles being announced before the year was out. Birdwatchers can look out for four new field and identification guides: Cornell University Press will publish Birds of Nicaragua in May; Bloomsbury is publishing Antpittas, a new Helm Identification Guide to this sought-after group of South American birds in July, and Birds of Japan in June; and Princeton University Press will publish Birds of Chile: A Photo Guide, also in June. Bloomsbury's A Shadow Above: The Fall and Rise of the Raven, due February, sounds very intriguing as well. On the mammal front, Johns Hopkins University Press has announced a new addition to the Walker's series, Mammals of the World: Monotremes, Marsupials, Afrotherians, Xenarthrans, and Sundatherians, due June. The International Polar Institute Press just announced Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend for February, which is one of only a handful of books on this seldom-seen whale species, while Oxford University Press will publish Orca: How We Came to Know and Love the Ocean's Greatest Predator in July. Cambridge University Press will publish Wild Chimpanzees: Social Behaviour of an Endangered Species in May, and Academic Press has just published Cheetahs: Biology and Conservation. There are two titles in this month's list that are worth highlighting for botanists: The Collins Press will publish Lichens of Ireland and Great Britain: An Illustrated Introduction to Over 300 Species in May, and Kyle Books will publish Wild Flowers of Britain and Ireland: A Photographic Identification Guide to over 600 Species in April. On the subject of insects and other invertebrates, we have the privately published Micro Moth Vernacular Names: A Nomenclatural Checklist of British Microlepidoptera, a technical monograph from the Paris Museum of Natural History: Critical Revision of the Heligmonellidae (Nematoda: Trichostrongylina: Heligmosomoidea), and a fold-out guide from the London Natural History Museum: An Illustrated Guide to the Land Snails and Slugs of Vietnam, all of which are in stock. We are also expecting stock of Cowries – A Guide to the Gastropod Family Cypraeidae, Volume 1: Biology and Systematics from ConchBooks, which is the first volume in a new series. If you are looking for a somewhat less technical read, an affordable paperback version of Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life is due in February, while Princeton University Press will publish Amazing Arachnids in June. There are also some great palaeontology books on the horizon. Johns Hopkins University Press will publish the massive Smilodon: The Iconic Sabertooth in June, which draws together contributions from a large number of scientists. Harper Collins will publish Too Big to Walk: The New Science of Dinosaurs in May, which puts forward some novel interpretations of dinosaur lifestyle based on new fossil finds, and Whalebone, due April, which will be a book on palaeontological whale research. On the topic of conservation biology, there is also a strong list of books coming. Cambridge University Press has announced The Science of Strategic Conservation: Protecting More with Less for March, giving valuable advice on how to get the best conservation bang for your buck, and Species Conservation: Lessons from Islands for May. Oxford University Press is providing a handbook on the latest technology with Conservation Drones: Mapping and Monitoring Biodiversity, which is due in June. Mark Cocker is writing Our Place: Can We Save British Nature Before it is Too Late?, which is due from Jonathan Cape in April. A paperback version of Client Earth from Scribe Publications is due in May, Penguin will publish the paperback of Inheritors of the Earth: How Nature is Thriving in an Age of Extinction in June, Bloomsbury will release a B-format paperback of Dead Zone: Where the Wild Things Were in March, while The Unnatural World: The Race to Remake Civilization in Earth's Newest Age has just been released in paperback by Scribner Books. And lastly, Comstock has announced The Birds at My Table: Why We Feed Wild Birds and Why It Matters for March, which pulls together what we know, and don't know, about the ecological effects of feeding wild birds. On a related note, Penguin will publish The Human Planet: How We Created the Anthropocene, authored by Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin who have published on this topic in the journal Nature. Interested in evolutionary biology or history of science? Pelagic Publishing has revealed Biology in Transition: The Life and Lectures of Arthur Milnes Marshall for May. McGill-Queens University Press has announced Luminous Creatures: The History and Science of Light Production in Living Organisms, also due May. Two popular works on evolutionary biology are Quercus Publishing's Darwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution, due February, and Harper Collins's From Wolf to Woof: A Genetic History of Man's Best Friend, due March, which is one of several forthcoming books on human-wolf coevolution. To round out this list, there are excellent nature writing books lined up. Bloomsbury has announced The Long Spring: Tracking the Arrival of Spring Through Europe for March. Peter Marren is currently writing Chasing the Ghost: My Search for all the Wild Flowers of Britain, which Square Peg has announced for April, while John Lewis- Stempel is working on The Wood: The Life & Times of Cockshutt Wood, due from Doubleday in March. Unicorn Press has announced a reprint of a classic book written by David Lack: Swifts in a Tower, due March. Jonathan Cape will publish Ground Work: Writings on People and Places in March, which is edited by Tim Dee and contains contributions from, amongst others, Richard Mabey and Helen Macdonald. We can look forward to paperback versions of Dave Goulson's Bee Quest in April, and Hugh Warwick's Linescapes: Remapping and Reconnecting Britain's Fragmented Wildlife in May (both Vintage). Earth to Earth: A Natural History of Churchyards is due for March, and is one of the few books we know of that looks at the wildlife found in and around graveyards. A last book to mention, very much of regional interest, is A Natural History of Blackmoorfoot Reservoir, Huddersfield, of which we have obtained some of the last stock. 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.
