Condition: NEW. 600, 1078 col + b/w figs. 270x220mm. HB. NEW. . Text English. Papua New Guinea has one of the most remarkable ecosystems in the world in terms of rich plant species 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 gathered 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 Mémoires du Muséum 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. Includes CD-ROM. [9782856538364].…

La Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guin?e poss?de l un des ?cosyst?mes les plus remarquables au monde en termes de richesse en esp?ces v?g?tales et de biodiversit? marine. Au cours de l inventaire de biodiversit? La Plan?te Revisit?e - Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guin?e 2012-2013 , plus de deux cents personnes ont explor? ces ?cosyst?mes, du fond de la mer de Bismarck au sommet du mont Wilhelm, son point culminant. Aid?s par les communaut?s locales et des parataxonomistes locaux, des chercheurs, des techniciens, des naturalistes amateurs et des ?tudiants de 21 pays diff?rents ont rassembl? une grande quantit? de sp?cimens et de donn?es pour tenter de r?pondre ? des questions fondamentales telles que d?terminer le nombre d esp?ces vivantes qui habitent notre plan?te ou la biodiversit? g?n?r?e par le renouvellement des esp?ces d arthropodes. Les M?moires du Mus?um publient le deuxi?me volume sur les principaux r?sultats de la partie terrestre de l exp?dition, en faisant avancer l ?tude de la faune des arthropodes du mont Wilhelm et en pr?sentant un inventaire des plantes collect?es au cours de l exp?dition. Ce volume comprend 14 contributions traitant de divers groupes d insectes, avec la description de 118 esp?ces et 3 genres nouveaux pour la science. Paris.
