This new series focuses on the entomological biodiversity, biogeography and conservation of one of the richest and scientifically most interesting areas of the earth – the islands of Wallacea and New Guinea. The intention is for the books to appear in regular succession. This publication series offers a new discussion platform for biologists of various disciplines from around the world, with a focus on the Indo-Australian transitional zone. This first volume contains 17 scientific papers by 20 researchers from 12 countries (see table of contents for more details).
