Connecticut Wildlife: Biodiversity, Natural History, and Conservation

Connecticut Wildlife: Biodiversity, Natural History, and Conservation by Hammerson, Geoffrey A.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781584653691.

Connecticut Wildlife is the lavishly illustrated, exhaustive overview of the ecosystems of Connecticut, its plants and animals, and the ecological links among the states wildlife and their habitats--from butterflies to red foxes, jellyfish to double-crested cormorants, poison ivy to phytoplankton. It carefully traces Connecticuts daily, seasonal, annual, and long-term cycles, which range from the dynamics of natural communities to patterns of reproduction and behavior in major groups of organisms. Whether looking at individual species or broad ecosystems, Geoffrey A. Hammersons conservationist perspective shines in Connecticut Wildlife. The book will become an essential part of the libraries of every naturalist, conservationist, and educator in Connecticut and the Northeast.
