Classification and Ecology of Major Tropical Insect Groups

Estimates for the tropics, for example, tend to underscore the fact that there are more species to be described than are currently recognized. The most recent analyses suggest that there are from four to six million insect species ...

Habitat conservation
Habitat conservation is a land management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants and animals, especially conservation reliant species, and prevent their extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. It is a priority of many groups that cannot be easily characterized in terms of any one ideology.
