Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica Editors N.P. Kristensen and V. Michelsen
This series provides authoritative identification manuals of insects (and other terrestrial arthropods) of North Western Europe for a wide circle of users: ecologists, conservationists, biologists involved in fauna inventorying and monitoring, as well as insect collectors. The scope of individual volumes varies, reflecting different needs in the treatment of different groups. The geographical coverage focuses on Fennoscandia and Denmark, with some volumes treating more extensive parts of Europe.
All contributions are written in English. In addition to identification keys and descriptions, the volumes provide information on biology and distribution of the taxa treated. Strong emphasis is laid on illustrations, with most volumes providing numerous 'whole animal habitus' illustrations (frequently in colour) in addition to figures of diagnostic structural details.
Sono stati pubblicati, ad oggi, più di
quaranta volumi di questa collana.
Poco meno della metà sono scaricabili su "Google Libri", anche se in anteprima limitata (mancano cioè diverse pagine originali).
Malgrado questa limitazione e pur riguardando una fauna più settentrionale (ma alcuni volumi si estendono a tutta quella europea), si rivelano comunque ottime fonti per la determinazione disponibili gratuitamente in rete, ricche di tabelle dicotomiche e disegni schematici.
