Book Description
"Southern California is home not only to the country's second largest metropolitan center but to an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 different kinds of insects. Insects of the Los Angeles Basin provides an introduction to more than 400 of the most conspicuous or curious of these invertebrate animals and to about 70 spiders, mites and ticks, and related forms. With color photographs or drawings of all but a few species, the text describes the size and most striking physical characteristics of adults and immature stages and gives information on locomotion and behavior, offensive and defensive maneuvers, mating rituals, food preferences, nests and traps, and noises and scents. The specific habitat and general geographic range of each insect are included, as are lore and superstition regarding some notorious species." "The author, Dr. Charles L. Hogue, has answered the questions that he was most often asked in his position as Curator of Entomology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The result is a highly readable text with an emphasis on the effects that insects have on the people who encounter them."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
This text provides readers with an in-depth exploration of how biological control functions and how it can be safely employed to solve pest problems and enhance nature conservation. It covers the principles behind biological control techniques and their implementation, and incorporates practical examples from the biological control of a variety of pests. It contains detailed chapters on conserving natural enemies through environmental management, importation of new natural enemies for control of pests, augmentation of natural enemies through rearing and release, and the development and application of pathogens and biopesticides.
Invasive Arthropods in Agriculture
Author: Guy J. HallmanPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 852
Book Description
This book concentrates on invasive arthropods damaging to agriculture, although relevant examples and discussions with other organisms and situations are included. Some socio-political facets are considered in overviews of plant health protection programs, including the origins of regulatory plant health in the United States, environmental and economic costs of alien arthropods, and international standards and avenues for sharing information about pests. Risk assessment is a vital scientific component of efforts to thwart the negative effects of invasive species, and some chapters deal with pathways of introduction, predicting the invasive potential of arthropods, and forecasting the likely geographic distribution of exotic insects. New eradication, control and quarantine treatment methods have been developed for use in programs against invasive species, and these are addressed in a series of chapters. Biological control has been at the nexus of the invasive species debate because the benefits sought after through the deliberate introduction of beneficial organisms may have unintended and undesirable negative effects. Accordingly, chapters are devoted to these topics.
