Series Statement: Coleoptera ; Volume 2

Content: Dieses Buch ist der zweite von vier Bänden der Reihe "Handbuch der Zoologie", die die Systematik, Morphologie und Biologie der Coleoptera behandeln.Die Bände beantworten alle Fragen zu Phylogenese, Evolution und Ökologie der Coleoptera.

Content: Dieses Buch ist der zweite von vier Bänden der Reihe Handbuch der Zoologie zur Systematik und Biologie der Coleoptera. Mit ca. 350.000 beschriebenen Spezies sind die Coleoptera die bei Weitem reichste Ordnung und die größte Gruppe von Tieren mit vergleichbarem geologischem Alter. Die Käfer-Bände des HdZ bieten modernen Biologen Antworten auf Fragen zur Phylogenese, Evolution und Ökologie der Coleoptera. Der zweite Coleoptera-Band umfasst alle nicht im ersten Band behandelten Polyphaga-Taxa (außer Phytophaga) sowie erst kürzlich beschriebene Gruppen mit Informationen zur weltweiten Verbreitung, Biologie, Morphologie aller Lebensabschnitte (einschließlich Anatomie), Phylogenese und Erläuterungen zur Taxonomie.
