Description:
A detailed treatment on the butterflies of Britain's offshore islands. The first part is an account of the findings from analyses of data from the islands. The second part presents butterfly records for 219 islands. Checklist of species. Appendices list rare migrants and provide advice and sources of information for making observations on the butterflies of islands.
Provides an up-to-date synthesis of butterfly records for Britain's and Ireland's offshore islands. The authors demonstrate the significance of geography and ecology in accounting for the number of species and the incidence of species on islands. The findings have important connotations for understanding the processes of colonization and extinction, with ramifications for butterfly conservation in Britain and Ireland.
