Published Today - Inheritors of the Earth

How Nature is Thriving in an Age of Extinction
Chris D. Thomas is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of York. He has an interest in human-induced changes of the biological world and biodiversity protection.
Inheritors of the Earth is an interesting and thought-provoking book on the current mass extinction crisis, and conservation philosophy in general. Sure to ruffle some feathers, NHBS believes this book makes an important contribution. We contacted Chris with some questions after reading his book.

Micro-Moth Field Tips: A Guide to Finding the Early Stages in Lancashire and Cheshire – A Chronological Guide from January to December - Paperback
This useful guide helps moth recorders to find and identify the early stages of micro-moths by searching for key feeding signs. Descriptions are accompanied by helpful photographs which aid in finding the species described. Whilst the book focuses on moths found in Lancashire and Cheshire, the field tips will be of equal use to recorders in other regions.
On the Blog - The Importance of Nest Sites for Birds and Bees

A recently published study conducted at the University of Exeter suggests that competition for nesting spaces may explain the variation seen in the decline of closely related bird and bee species. Check out our recent blog article for more information, or download the published paper here.
