Vocabulary richness, including lexical diversity and use of rare
words, has an important role in assessing proficiency, diagnosing
progress and testing theory in the study of language development.
This book first reviews different methods for quantifying how
vocabulary is deployed in spontaneous speech and writing, and then
introduces an alternative approach which can assess overall lexical
diversity, measure morphology development and compare the
development of different word classes. The new approach is
illustrated by its application to first and second language
learners.
More than 2600 species of tiger beetles are found all over the
world. In North America there are 116 species of tiger beetle,
divided into 153 geographically distinct races. Detailed studies of
their natural history, population dynamics, communities, patterns
of worldwide species richness, and taxonomy of particular subgroups
have produced much information. Tiger beetles are among the most
widely investigated groups of insects, especially in terms of their
ecology and geographic distribution. The first edition of A Field
Guide to the Tiger Beetles of the United States and Canada,
published in 2005, has served as a field and natural-history guide
to all known species of tiger beetles found in North America above
the Mexican border. The 2nd edition is a pleasant and
comprehensible handbook of the identification, distribution,
natural history, and habitat details of the 116 species of tiger
beetles in North America. The updated handbook provides new
information including observations of seasonality, range extensions
and biology, a newly developed list of common names, and
twenty-five artistically pleasing identification color plates. The
second edition of A Field Guide to the Tiger Beetles of the United
States and Canada provides essential information to recognize and
easily identify tiger beetles for established naturalists and
outdoor enthusiasts alike.
