The Entomologist'S Record And Journal Of Variation (Volume 108) 1996 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354301971)

An essential chronicle of subtle change among Britain's insects. Clear, concise, and quietly authoritative. Volume 108 (1996) of The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation presents an entomology journal collection that pairs rigorous insect variation studies with precise field observation. Contributions range from specialist lepidoptera research articles to shorter distributional notes and identification comments, producing a scientific periodical anthology that functions as both a practical species identification guide and a trusted field guide companion. The writing is technical where clarity demands it, accessible where anecdote aids memory, and consistently attentive to the regional detail underpinning British insect biodiversity. Read casually, the volume offers vivid, usable material for garden and countryside observation; consulted professionally, it provides the granular evidence valued by surveyors and database compilers. This balance of scholarship and on-site observation makes the issue equally useful to the weekend naturalist and to those compiling an academic reference for entomologists. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Historically significant among 1990s scientific publications and forming part of an enduring zoological records series, Volume 108 captures a particular moment in the recording of United Kingdom fauna: the distributional notes, taxonomic discussion and identification insight remain relevant to ongoing studies. The journal bridges pastime and profession, so casual readers and natural history researchers discover accessible accounts and practical leads, while classic-literature collectors and institutional libraries value the restored periodical for its archival character. For anyone mapping changes in British insect biodiversity or seeking a reliable scientific periodical anthology from the era, this edition stands as a concise, enduring resource. Compact enough for field use, substantial enough for reference, it rewards repeated consultation and preserves a measured voice of British entomological practice.
