Museums house many collections of preserved specimens, such as the insects shown in Figure 3.2, as a record of Earth’s biodiversity. As well as including specimens from recent in ...

Many species (perhaps as many as 50–60 percent of all species in the Pacific Northwest) use edges because the contrasting habitats provide choices for food and cover in close proximity to one another.
