Announcing a major new project and future publication
The project aims to publish a species by species review of the insects of South Yorkshire in the same style as the highly acclaimed Insects of the Barnsley Area. We will gather together existing records and undertake new fieldwork during the coming years.
ca.2010 as a book, CD-ROM and Web page. There will be several drafts circulated during the next few years. Each group will be authored by a local specialist/team of specialists. The publication will be a most useful work of reference for all.
The present County of South Yorkshire including sites that straddle the county boundary.
All records are required and all entomologists are invited to join in. Contact the relevant SIG Recorder or the address below. It is our policy to acknowledge all contributors and references to published papers. Records are stored on the SIG databases and we liase with the local Biological Records Centres that also have records of insects.
