Item description from seller

Papua New Guinea has one of the most remarkable ecosystems in the world in terms of plant species richness and marine biodiversity. During the ?The Planet Revisited - Papua New Guinea 2012-2013? __biodiversity inventory, more than two hundred people explored these ecosystems, from the bottom of the Bismarck Sea to the summit of Mount Wilhelm, its highest point. Helped by local communities and local parataxonomists, researchers, technicians, amateur naturalists and students from 21 different countries have collected a large amount of specimens and data in an attempt to answer fundamental questions such as determining the number of living species that inhabit our planet or the biodiversity generated by the renewal of arthropod species. The M?moires du Mus?um publish the second volume on the main results of the land part of the expedition, advancing the study of the arthropod fauna of Mount Wilhelm and presenting an inventory of the plants collected during the expedition. This volume includes 14 contributions dealing with various groups of insects, with the description of 118 species and 3 genera new to science.
