Catalogue of the Smaller Arachnid Orders of the World
Author: Mark S HarveyPublisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 0643098747
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
This authoritative catalogue will greatly assist readers in finding the correct taxonomic name for any given family, genus or species within each of the six arachnid orders treated. It contains a valuable summary of bibliographic information, enabling readers to access the worldwide literature for these smaller orders. The catalogue presents full bibliographic data on each of the taxa named thus far, treating over 1600 species. It contains the most current classification system for each group, some of which have not been catalogued on a world scale for over 70 years. A summary of taxonomic changes is included. This quality reference will be of immense value to arachnologists, systematists, taxonomists, ecologists and biodiversity professionals, especially those interested in tropical rainforest communities.
Conservation Biology Principles for Forested Landscapes
Author: Joan VollerPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774842512
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
This book is intended to provide information to those who wish to interact with the landbase in an ecologically sustainable manner. Practitioners charged with the administration of land-based programs in industry and government will find the information presented useful. It should also be a resource for many community groups involved in land-use decision-making. Humans continue to use forests and make decisions about land use without perfect information. Conservation Biology Principles for Forested Landscapes is intended to enable the improvement of planning and decison-making processes by providing ecological information on issues of forest use. Current approaches are not working. Where information exists on new, ecologically sustainable approaches, practitioners should switch. Where the information on a better approach is not yet available, practitioners should replace the current, inappropriate approach with a variety of flexible ones that offer the opportunity to change with new knowledge.
Host Plants of World Agrilus (Coleoptera, Buprestidae)
Author: Eduard JendekPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319084100
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 763
Book Description
The beetle genus Agrilus has over 3000 species which makes it the most numerous in the Animal Kingdom. Many species are serious pests of plants with high invasive potential. Among them, the notoriously known Agrilus planipennis invaded from Asia to North America where it killed tens of millions of ash trees, caused regulatory agencies to enforce quarantines and cost municipalities, property owners, nursery operators and forest products industries tens of millions of dollars. The monograph provides coherent, comprehensive and critical review on all known host plants for more than 680 Agrilus species. All host plants have assigned the confidence index from 0-3 based on the evaluated reliability which eliminates false records. All original and subsequent references for particular plants are cited at each Agrilus species. Data are organized from both, insect and plant viewpoints. Results are analyzed and illustrated by graphs and diagrams. The main impact of the monograph is seen in entomology, phytopathology, forestry, agriculture ecology and biocontrol.
Forests and Insects
Author: Allan D. WattPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780412791109
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
This book covers the full breadth of forest entomology. It combines the work of forest entomologists working on the impact and management of forest pests with those involved in diversity assessment and conservation of insects in forests. Forests and Insects demonstrates that both these disciplines demand an understanding of population and community biology. The book covers such topics as colonization of trees by insects, population dynamics of forest insects, insect natural enemies, the effects of climate change and pollution on forest pests, spatial variation in the abundance of insects,the mineralization of carbon by termites, the impact of herbivorous insects, and the conservation of forest insect diversity, including the effects of forest fragmentation and deforestation. This Royal Entomological Society Symposium volume will be of great interest to all agricultural and forest entomologists, population and community biologists, pest management specialists and anyone concerned with the conservation of forest biodiversity.

Book Description
The most recent issue (no. 13) contains revisions of Paregle (4 spp., of which one is new), a genus of public health interest with coprophagous larvae, Acridomyia (one species, a parasitoid of acridid grasshoppers), Adia (one species whose larvae contribute to the recycling of cow dung), Hylemya (3 species, with coprophagous lavae) and Anthomyia (23 spp., of which 14 are described as new). larvae of the last genus are saprophagous, developing mainly in bird and mammalian faeces and rotting fungi. Like preceding issues, this new issue will be of importance to the work of agricultural, as well as taxonomic entomologists and academic institutions.
