Australian grassland insects. 330 $aAustralia?s varied grasslands have suffered massive losses and changes since European settlement, and those changes continue under increasingly intensive human pressures for development and agricultural production. The values of native grasslands for conservation of endemic native biodiversity, both flora and fauna, have led to strong interests in the protection of remaining fragments, especially near urban centres, and documentation of the insects and other inhabitants of grasslands spanning tropical to cool temperate parts of the country. Attention to conservation of grassland insects in Australia is relatively recent, but it is increasingly apparent that grasslands harbour many localised and ecologically specialised endemic species. Their conservation necessarily advances from very incomplete documentation, and draws heavily on lessons from the far better-documented grasslands elsewhere, most notably in the northern hemisphere, and undertaken over far longer periods. From those cases, and the extensive background to grassland management to harmonise conservation with production and amenity values through honing use of processes such as grazing, mowing and fire, the needs and priorities for Australia can become clearer, together with needs for grassland restoration at a variety of scales. This book is a broad overview of conservation needs of grassland insects in Australia, drawing on the background provided elsewhere in the world on the responses to disturbances, and the ecological importance, of some key insect groups (notably Orthoptera, Hemiptera and Lepidoptera) to suggest how insect conservation in native, pastoral and urban grasslands may be advanced. The substantial references given for each chapter facilitate entry for non-entomologist grassland managers and stewards to appreciate the diversity and importance of Australia?s grassland insects, their vulnerabilities to changes, and the possibilities for conserving them and the wider ecological roles in which they participate. 606 $aEntomology 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology  606 $aApplied ecology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aCommunity ecology, Biotic 606 $aEntomology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aApplied Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aCommunity & Population Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19120 606 $aEcologia de les praderies$2thub 607 $aAustràlia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEntomology. 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aApplied ecology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aCommunity ecology, Biotic. 615 14$aEntomology. 615 24$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aApplied Ecology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aCommunity & Population Ecology. 615 7$aEcologia de les praderies 676 $a595.7 700 $aNew$b Tim R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0872813 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373916003321 996 $aInsect Conservation and Australia?s Grasslands$91948520 997 $aUNINA
