Scholarly publisher Brill, Netherlands, has finalised an agreement with Apollo Books (Denmark) to acquire the English-language Entomology publications programme as well as a small number of other Biology titles. The acquisition comprises a number of book series, such as: Geometrid Moths of Europe, The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland, Palaearctic Macrolepidopteraand Microlepidoptera of Europe. Also included are 25 forthcoming titles and over 100 backlist titles.
The Entomology and other Biology titles fit well in Brill's Biology programme, building upon its systematic biology scope while bringing greater cross marketing and global distribution opportunities to the acquired list.
Effective immediately, Brill will assume publishing responsibilities for the acquired titles. As of February 1, 2013, stock will be available via Brill's distribution channels.
