Terrestrial and Freshwater Invertebrates of St. Helena

St Helena is a tiny, remote island lying 1,860 km from Africa, with dramatic landscapes of vertiginous, volcanic cliffs that rise steeply from the South Atlantic Ocean and a varied interior of habitats ranging from barren desert to lush montane cloud forest. These vegetation zones are populated by a unique invertebrate fauna of great evolutionary interest, including over 420 endemic species. Terrestrial and Freshwater Invertebrates of St. Helena is the first identification guide to cover nearly all of the island’s native and established invertebrates. It includes a wealth of ecological, historical and conservation information, including results of recent research.
