Australian Jewel beetles: an introduction to the Buprestidae.
Melbourne: CSIRO Publishing, 2024. Quarto, laminated boards, colour photographs.
A comprehensive overview of Australia’s buprestid fauna. It presents taxonomic, ecological and biogeographic information for all Australian genera, and their association with the world’s Buprestidae more widely. It explores plant-evolution dependencies, as well as threats and conservation for this diverse fauna.
The authors bring together their extensive experience and understanding of the wealth of Australia’s largely endemic species, supported by spectacular images and discussion of photographic techniques.
