Book review: Methods for Collecting Insects and other Terrestrial Arthropods, Vol. I

Abstract

For a long period, the Iranian entomologists followed a rather narrow spectrum of methods to collect arthropods that are described in taxomomic papers. Recently, this knowledge gap was filled with the publication of a book entitled “Methods for Collecting Insects and other Terrestrial Arthropods”. The book efficiently describes 110 collecting methods in 18 chapters and 468 papges and it contains as well a huge collection of more than 300 illustrations and a considerable set of references. It is highly recommended for both students, professional entomologists and academic personnel.
