Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1282
Book Description
Volume One of the thoroughly revised and updated guide to the study of biodiversity in insects The second edition of Insect Biodiversity: Science and Society brings together in one comprehensive text contributions from leading scientific experts to assess the influence insects have on humankind and the earth’s fragile ecosystems. Revised and updated, this new edition includes information on the number of substantial changes to entomology and the study of biodiversity. It includes current research on insect groups, classification, regional diversity, and a wide range of concepts and developing methodologies. The authors examine why insect biodiversity matters and how the rapid evolution of insects is affecting us all. This book explores the wide variety of insect species and their evolutionary relationships. Case studies offer assessments on how insect biodiversity can help meet the needs of a rapidly expanding human population, and also examine the consequences that an increased loss of insect species will have on the world. This important text: Explores the rapidly increasing influence on systematics of genomics and next-generation sequencing Includes developments in the use of DNA barcoding in insect systematics and in the broader study of insect biodiversity, including the detection of cryptic species Discusses the advances in information science that influence the increased capability to gather, manipulate, and analyze biodiversity information Comprises scholarly contributions from leading scientists in the field Insect Biodiversity: Science and Society highlights the rapid growth of insect biodiversity research and includes an expanded treatment of the topic that addresses the major insect groups, the zoogeographic regions of biodiversity, and the scope of systematics approaches for handling biodiversity data.
Trends in Research in Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera
Author: Eduardo DominguezPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461512573
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
This volume is the proceedings of the IX International Conference on Ephemeroptera and the XII International Symposium on Plecoptera, held in Tucuman, Argentina. Divided into comprehensive thematic sections, the early sections cover studies on ecology and behavior ranging from life cycles and general biology to genetic divergence and vibrational communication, while the latter sections reveal the diversified studies being developed worldwide. This book will be useful for beginners and specialists, providing important data for ecological, distributional, morphological, and biogeographical studies.
American Entomologist
Author: Evolution of the Insects
Author: David GrimaldiPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110726877X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 790
Book Description
Insects are the most diverse group of organisms in the 3 billion-year history of life on Earth, and the most ecologically dominant animals on land. This book chronicles for the first time the complete evolutionary history of insects: their living diversity, relationships and 400 million years of fossils. Whereas other volumes have focused on either living species or fossils, this is the first comprehensive synthesis of all aspects of insect evolution. The book is illustrated with 955 photo- and electronmicrographs, drawings, diagrams, and field photos, many in full colour and virtually all of them original. The book will appeal to anyone engaged with insect diversity: professional entomologists and students, insect and fossil collectors, and naturalists.
