Book Description
Arachnids are an extremely diverse and fascinating group of animals with over 100,000 known species in around 790 families. With over 6,700 entries, this dictionary for arachnology is the most complete reference work of its kind available today and includes a comprehensive taxonomic coverage of the orders Acarina, Amblypygi, Araneae, Opiliones, Palpigradi, Pseudoscorpiones, Ricinulei, Schizomida, Scorpiones, Solifugae and Uropygi down to the level of family, including many species that are of particular interest. Appendices give a synopsis of the class Arachnida and an alphabetical list of all the families. Arachnology is not studied in isolation, therefore the more common terms from the fields of Anatomy, Animal Behavior, Ecology, Genetics, Taxonomy and Zoogeography, as well as many terms covering sizes, shapes, colors, forms and textures have been included.

Book Description
Incorporating an estimated 43,000 definitions, this major reference work is a comprehensive, fully cross-referenced collection of terms, names and phrases used in entomology. It is the only listing that covers insect anatomy, behaviour, biology, ecology, histology, molecular biology, morphology, pest management, taxonomy and systematics. Common names, scientific binomen and taxonomic classifications are provided as well as order, suborder, superfamily, family and subfamily names and diagnostic features of orders and families. With new and updated terms, particularly in molecular biology, phylogeny and spatial technology, this revised new edition of A Dictionary of Entomology is an essential reference for researchers and students of entomology and related disciplines.

Book Description
"This book is a comprehensive, fully cross-referenced collection of over 28,000 terms, names and phrases used in entomology, incorporating an estimated 43,000 definitions. It is the only listing which covers insect anatomy, behaviour, biology, ecology, histology, molecular biology, morphology, pest management, taxonomy and systematics. The origin, etymology, part of speech and definition of each term and phrase are all provided, including the language, meaning or root of each term and constituent parts. Where meanings have changed, or terms have been borrowed from other disciplines, the most current usage is indicated. The common names of insects, their scientific binomen and taxonomic classification are provided, with diagnoses of pest species in many cases. All insect order, suborder, superfamily, family and subfamily names are given, together with the diagnostic features of orders and families. Names of deceased entomologists, or scientists from other fields who have contributed to entomology are included, with the citation for their biography or obituary. The list of names is global, including entomologists from Asia, whose research has often been neglected by western scientists. This book is an essential reference source for all professionals and students of entomology and related disciplines."--p. [4] of cover.

Book Description
Translating scientific papers from foreign languages into English requires more than finding English equivalents in a dictionary. Sometimes the foreign words do not appear in the foreign-language dictionary or the equivalents cited for them are unsuitable. At other times the choice of equivalents is so wide that proper selection of the preferred English term is difficult. Dictionaries seldom make shades of meaning clear; they can usually be gleaned only from the context of the paper itself, from illustrations accompanying it, from a knowledge of the insect concerned, or by consulting European entomologists familiar with the common words in technical use. In older papers on entomology European writers used Latin technical terms in describing the parts of an insect's body, as American entomologists still do. But in the 1930's many European writers began to replace such technical terms by words from the common speech. Instead of the Latin, and hence universal, "abdomen," some German writers first adopted "Bauch" for the third section of an insect body. Since this word means abdomen or venter in man, it was not precise enough to designate the abdomen in insects. Therefore "Hinterleib" [= hinder part of the body] is now more generally used for abdomen; whereas "Bauch" is employed to mean the venter or sternum of the abdomen in insects, in more recent literature. These common words tend to be used loosely and inconsistently. Of two Russian collaborators in papers on grasshoppers, for instance, one uses a different Russian word for the sternum and the thorax, but the other uses the same Russian word for both. Many of these terms are not the ones preferred by European specialists in entomology.Many were incorrectly used by amateurs, or by entomologists writing in a language other than their own. Hence the terms appearing in this Glossary are not necessarily the ones used by the best writers, but the equivalents given for them were found to be those best suited for the purpose of a given translation. Miss Ericson had completed the manuscript for this glossary, but had no opportunity to review the proofs, at the time of her death on October 9, 1961.

Book Description
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Second Edition, has been fully updated and revised to provide the latest information on developments in entomology relating to public health and veterinary importance. Each chapter is structured with the student in mind, organized by the major headings of Taxonomy, Morphology, Life History, Behavior and Ecology, Public Health and Veterinary Importance, and Prevention and Control. This second edition includes separate chapters devoted to each of the taxonomic groups of insects and arachnids of medical or veterinary concern, including spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks. Internationally recognized editors Mullen and Durden include extensive coverage of both medical and veterinary entomological importance. This book is designed for teaching and research faculty in medical and veterinary schools that provide a course in vector borne diseases and medical entomology; parasitologists, entomologists, and government scientists responsible for oversight and monitoring of insect vector borne diseases; and medical and veterinary school libraries and libraries at institutions with strong programs in entomology. Follows in the tradition of Herm's Medical and Veterinary Entomology The latest information on developments in entomology relating to public health and veterinary importance Two separate indexes for enhanced searchability: Taxonomic and Subject New to this edition: Three new chapters Morphological Adaptations of Parasitic Arthropods Forensic Entomology Molecular Tools in Medical and Veterinary Entomology 1700 word glossary Appendix of Arthropod-Related Viruses of Medical-Veterinary Importance Numerous new full-color images, illustrations and maps throughout
