A fully updated and expanded edition of the essential field guide to British Odonata, featuring unrivalled full-colour artwork of all 58 species.Adult dragonflies are among the largest and most spectacular insects alive today, and their beautiful colours, phenomenal aerobatic skills and habit of flying only in warm, sunny weather make them easy to observe. Now in its sixth edition, this practical guide will help you to distinguish between all 58 species, with fascinating descriptive accounts and insect-watching tips. Stunning paintings by renowned wildlife artist Richard Lewington allow for quick and accurate identification, and the guide also features an identification key to the larvae of all the resident and migratory dragonfly and damselfly species.This sixth edition has been fully revised in light of recent unprecedented changes in the range of many of our species, as well as consolidation by new colonists. Updated regional guides, flight-period charts and distribution maps help you to determine when and where to see each species, and the authors have included tips on how to use digital photographs to record and identify dragonflies and damselflies observed in the field. All the species descriptions have been fully revised to include the latest information on life history, biology and ecology, supplemented by more than 50 additional artworks and 125 photographs that are new for this edition.

Novel Statistical Tools for Conserving and Managing PopulationsBy gathering information on key demographic parameters, scientists can often predict how populations will develop in the future and relate these parameters to external influences, such as global warming. Because of their ability to easily incorporate random effects, fit state-space models, evaluate posterior model probabilities, and deal with missing data, modern Bayesian methods have become important in this area of statistical inference and forecasting. Emphasising model choice and model averaging, Bayesian Analysis for Population Ecology presents up-to-date methods for analysing complex ecological data. Leaders in the statistical ecology field, the authors apply the theory to a wide range of actual case studies and illustrate the methods using WinBUGS and R. The computer programs and full details of the data sets are available on the book’s website.The first part of the book focuses on models and their corresponding likelihood functions. The authors examine classical methods of inference for estimating model parameters, including maximum-likelihood estimates of parameters using numerical optimisation algorithms. After building this foundation, the authors develop the Bayesian approach for fitting models to data. They also compare Bayesian and traditional approaches to model fitting and inference.Exploring challenging problems in population ecology, this book shows how to use the latest Bayesian methods to analyse data. It enables readers to apply the methods to their own problems with confidence.
