The needs of moths are at least as great, but their greater richness and variety, and far poorer documentation of diversity and biology over much of the world contribute to this lack of attention. Australia’s rich moth fauna, largely endemic and of global interest, illustrates many of the problems of developing wider interest and support for moth conservation. Numerous species (perhaps half the total fauna) are undescribed, and many are ecological specialists in restricted and vulnerable environments over small parts of the continent. Establishing their conservation status and needs whilst accepting that foundation knowledge is highly incomplete and much species-focused conservation is impracticable provides complex problems in setting priorities, based largely on wider diversity and effective advocacy. Most Australian vegetation systems, from grassland to forest and from sea-level to alpine zones, have been eroded in extent and quality since European se | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | 关键词 | Entomology; Insect conservation; Moths; Australia; Lepidoptera; Australian fauna; Biodiversity loss; Conser | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-32103-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-32105-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-32103-0 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
