Reviews for Field Guide to the Flower Flies of Northeastern North America

oeMaking a quantum leap for the field, this work is a very important contribution to the knowledge about flower flies in North America. The great number of photographs together with detailed distribution maps, descriptions, and phenology make this a significant book for all who are interested in flower flies, pollination, ecology, outreach, and conservation. There is nothing comparable. Martin Hauser, California Department of Food and Agriculture oeThis richly illustrated book, the first flower fly field guide for North America, is a major accomplishment. An advancement in scientific knowledge, it will greatly interest naturalists and raise awareness of this ubiquitous group. John Klymko, Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre
