Invertebrate World of Australia’s Subtropical Rainforests
"Williams has made a valuable addition to our knowledge of a threatened ecosystem and is to be commended for his work. An associate to whom I briefly lent the review volume put it this way ‘it contains a lot of information that will be of interest to a lot of people’ and promptly ordered a copy."
Gary W Wilson, Metamorphosis Australia, Issue 99
The Invertebrate World of Australia's Subtropical Rainforests is a comprehensive review of Australia's Gondwanan rainforest invertebrate fauna, covering its taxonomy, distribution, biogeography, fossil history, plant community and insect-plant relationships. Les mer
This book examines invertebrates within the context of the plant world that they are dependent on and offers an understanding of Australia's outstanding (but still largely unknown) subtropical rainforests. All major, and many minor, invertebrate taxa are described and the book includes a section of colour photos of distinctive species. There is also a strong emphasis on plant and habitat associations and fragmentation impacts, as well as a focus on the regionally inclusive Gondwana Rainforests (Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia) World Heritage Area.
The Invertebrate World of Australia's Subtropical Rainforestswill be of value to professional biologists and ecologists, as well as amateur entomologists and naturalists in Australia and abroad.
Brings together a broad body of information otherwise scattered in journals of diverse specialist subject matter.
Offers a unique perspective marrying invertebrates to their plant world and the landscape in which they live and are dependent upon.
Original colour photographs illustrate the many iconic taxa discussed, highlighting Australia's outstanding (but still largely unknown) subtropical rainforests.

"It should be the ‘go to’ first resource for anyone interested in the bewildering array of invertebrates of the rich region it covers."
