The Millennium Atlas of Butterflies in Britain and Ireland
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This full-color, superbly illustrated atlas presents the findings of Butterflies for the New Millennium, the most comprehensive survey of butterflies ever undertaken in Britain and Ireland. After five years of recording by thousands of volunteers, it provides an up-to-date assessment of our
butterflies, the habitats they live in, the threats they face, and the major changes that have occurred since publication of the previous such atlas in 1984.
The body of the book is taken up with species accounts, each accompanied by a full-page distribution map and a color photograph of the butterfly concerned. A wider context is provided by considering long-term trends on distribution, derived from 200 years of recording and recent changes elsewhere
and in Europe. In addition, the book summarizes the wealth of new information about butterfly ecology, incorportating findings from the Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, describes and illustrates the habitats favored by particular communities of butterflies, and presents a vision of how these popular
insects might be conserved in the future. As such, it will be invaluable to a wide range of readers, from amateur naturalists to professional conservationists and policy makers.
