Wildlife of a garden: A thirty-year study

Description:

First edition. The author recorded over 2600 species ranging from plants to mammals in her garden in Leicester over a 30 year period. She discusses diversity, abundance, seasonality and annual fluctuations and relates these to weather, changes in surrounding land use and other ecological factors. The groups covered include butterflies, moths, beetles, hoverflies (Owen's specialist area), bees, wasps, ants, flies, dragonflies, sawflies, psocids, bugs, lacewings, grasshoppers, crickets, myriapods, spiders, molluscs and earthworms, as well as plants and vertebrates. A classic study that transformed perceptions of garden habitats.
