of the biota of Western Australia. This area presents their research.
It features information on the history of research in Western Australia
along with current research and articles of general interest. Many
of these articles are linked from other areas of NatureBase.
BugBase
BugBase is a database of the Department’s
Forest Insect Reference Collection, composed mainly of specimens
of beetles, butterflies and moths.
