El Parque Nacional Natural Gorgona (PNNG) ubicado frente a la costa Pacífica de Colombia, en jurisdicción del departamento del Cauca, es una de las principales áreas protegidas del Chocó Biogeográfico, donde la exuberante selva húmeda tropical alberga una alta riqueza biológica aún desconocida para la ciencia.
Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and environmental managers.
This engaging and easy-to-use natural history guidebook provides a thorough overview of native and honey bee biology and offers tools for identifying the most common bees of California and the Western United States.
Australia's native land snails are an often-overlooked invertebrate group that forms a significant part of terrestrial biodiversity, with an estimated 2500 species present in Australia today.
Olethreutine moths often have fruit-boring larvae and this economically important group includes many horticultural pests such as codling moths, Oriental fruit moths and macadamia nut borers.
Honey bees are social insects; they live together in large, well-organized family groups comprising three castes: queen (fertile female), workers (sterile females) and drones (males).
