This obviously renders the feasibility of monitoring distributional range shifts of the principal components of this biota a matter of some urgency.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contributors are: Achterberg, Cornelius van; Ahola, Matti; Barták, Miroslav; Behan-Pelletier, Valerie; Bird, Jeremy M.; B g, Katrine; Brodo, Fenja; Buhl, Peter N.; Dahl, Christine; Disney, R.

He has published extensively on the taxonomy, phylogeny and evolution of fl ies. His interest in the Greenland entomofauna was aroused when he took a course in Arctic biology on Qeqertarsuaq (Disko) and studied a bumblebee nest and its associate fauna of tardigrades, mites and insects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLars Vilhelmsen\u003c\/b\u003e, dr. scient (2004), University of Copenhagen, is an associate professor and curator of Hymenoptera at the Natural History Museum of Denmark. He has published a number of research papers on the systematics, anatomy and evolutionary history of the Hymenoptera. He also participated in the 2003 Kissavik expedition to southwestern Greenland, the results of which are treated in the present volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50367797559570,"sku":"9789004256408","price":130.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_69f5f1b9-a68a-4b7e-aabc-030c6b3f21b1.jpg?v=1728498003","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-greenland-entomofauna-an-identification-manual-of-insects-spiders-and-their-allies-9789004256408","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
