Classification and Coding System for Compilations from the World Literature on Insects and Other Arthropods that Affect the Health and Comfort of Man
Author: Bernard Valentine TravisPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Arthropod pests
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
A system of classifying and coding entomological information from the world literature on arthropods which affect the health and comfort of man onto punch cards was developed to provide a method for readily recovering this information for immediate use. More than 700 journals and other scientific publications from which data for coding may be drawn are listed. Titles are arranged alphabetically nd are numbered for entry on punch cards, which also indicate the author and date of publication. A geographic code for the world listing major administrative subdivisions for most countries, indicates the geographical areas for recording entomological data on punch cards. A world map is inclosed to aid in the identification of the major geographic l entries. The classification for subject matter co ins 9 categories of information for which space is assigned on the cards. Included are designations for genus, species, geographical range, seasonal activity, breeding habitat, and disease relationships. (Author).
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.
The Evolution of Social Wasps
Author: James H. HuntPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190294647
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Social behavior occurs in some of the smallest animals as well as some the largest, and the transition from solitary life to sociality is an unsolved evolutionary mystery. In The Evolution of Social Wasps, James H. Hunt examines social behavior in a single lineage of insects, wasps of the family Vespidae. He presents empirical knowledge of social wasps from two approaches, one that focuses on phylogeny and life history and one that focuses on individual ontogeny, colony development, and population dynamics. He also provides an extensive summary of the existing literature while demonstrating how it can be clouded by theory. Hunt's fresh approach to the conflicting literature on sociality highlights how oft repeated models can become fixed in the thinking of the scientific community. Instead, Hunt presents a mechanistic scenario for the evolution of sociality in wasps that changes our perspective on kin selection, the paradigm that has dominated thinking about social evolution since the 1970s. This innovative new model integrates life history, nutrition, fitness and ecology in which social insect biologists will find a rich storehouse of ideas and information, and behavioral ecologists will find a bracing challenge to long accepted models. Engagingly written, bold, and provocative, The Evolution of Social Wasps marks a milestone in our understanding of one of lifes major evolutionary transitions - the origin of social behavior.
