Reviews
From the preface:
This book can’t help but engage the reader because its focus is the family Chrysomelidae and the editors have put together a fascinating family album.
May Berenbaum, Department of Entomology, University of Illinois
"Contrary to the somewhat dry title of the book, it contains 20 very interesting contributions [of which] the main scientific value is not just in alpha-taxonomy [...] but rather in the fields of ecology and phylogeny."
Translated from: M.A. Jäch, Koleopterologische Rundschau, vol. 79, p.320, July 2009
The publications in this second volume are predominantly of high scientific level. Not only Chrysomelidae-friends will appreciate this book.
Translated from: M.A. Jäch, Koleopterologische Rundschau, vol. 80, p.170, September 2010
The high sales price is worth the information in this book. It should be available at every entomological institute that seriously studies leaf beetles.
