Описание: Bringing together numerous studies on ladybirds into one place, this book is composed largely of Professor Michael Majerus` lifetime work, with updates made by two leading experts in the field. Organised into coherent themes, it provides readers with a complete ecological understanding of the ladybird species in a global context.
At the biological crossroads of the Americas, Costa Rica hosts an astonishing array of plants and animals—over half a million species! Ecotourists, birders, and biologists come from around the world, drawn by the likelihood of seeing more than three or four hundred species of birds and other animals during even a short stay. To help all these visitors, as well as local residents, identify and enjoy the wildlife of Costa Rica, Carrol Henderson published Field Guide to the Wildlife of Costa Rica in 2002, and it instantly became the indispensable guide.
Now Henderson has created a dedicated field guide to more than one hundred tropical butterflies, moths, and other invertebrates that travelers are most likely to see while exploring the wild lands of Costa Rica. He includes fascinating information on their natural history, ecology, identification, and behavior gleaned from his forty years of travels and wildlife viewing, as well as details on where to see these remarkable and beautiful creatures. The butterflies, moths, and other invertebrates are illustrated by over 180 stunning and colorful photographs—most of which were taken in the wild by Henderson. A detailed and invaluable appendix that identifies many of Costa Rica's best wildlife-watching destinations, lodges, and contact information for trip-planning purposes completes the volume.

Описание:
The first edition of this reference work became known as the bible of turfgrass entomology upon publication in 1987. It has proved invaluable to professional entomologists, commercial turf managers, and golf course superintendents and has been used widely in college extension courses. This classic of the field is now in its third edition, providing up-to-date and complete coverage of turfgrass pests in the continental United States, Hawaii, and southern Canada.
This revised volume integrates all relevant research from the previous two decades. It provides expanded coverage of several pest species, including the annual bluegrass weevil, invasive crane fly species, chinch bugs, billbugs, mole crickets, and white grubs. Patricia J. Vittum also provides detailed information on the biology and ecology of all major pests and includes the most current information on conditions that favor insect development and biological control strategies pertinent to each species.
This edition will include more than 100 black-and-white images, including diagrams of life cycles, sketches of morphological characteristics, and charts highlighting seasonal activity. The book also includes 72 full-color plates (more than 500 color images), showing closeup pictures of most of the key insects (adult and immature stages) and damaged turf. The reader should be able to identify most turf insects through the use of this text. It is a critical reference work that any serious turf professional should own.

Описание: This revised and updated edition of Jessica Walliser's award-winning Attracting Beneficial Bugs to Your Garden offers a valuable and science-backed plan for bringing balance back to the garden. With this indispensable gardening reference--now updated with new research, insights, and voices--learn how to create a healthy, balanced, and diverse garden capable of supporting a hard-working crew of beneficial pest-eating insects and eliminate the need for synthetic chemical pesticides. After a fascinating introduction to the predator and prey cycle and its importance to both wild ecosystems and home gardens, you'll meet dozens of pest-munching beneficial insects (the predators) that feast on garden pests (their prey). From ladybugs and lacewings to parasitic wasps and syrphid flies, these good guys of the bug world keep the natural system of checks and balances in prime working order. They help limit pest damage and also serve a valuable role in the garden's food web. But, they won't call your garden home if you don't have the resources they need to survive. With a hearty population of beneficial insects present in your garden, you'll say goodbye to common garden pests like aphids, cabbage worms, bean beetles, leafhoppers, and hornworms, without reaching for a spray can. To encourage these good guys to stick around and do their important work, you'll learn how to create a welcoming habitat and fill your garden with the best plants to support them. Inside you'll find:
Bug profiles introducing dozens of beneficial insects and the down-and-dirty details on how they catch and eat their prey
Plant profiles featuring the best plants for supporting beneficials
Interviews with entomologists who focus their life's work on understanding the value of insects, including Doug Tallamy, Paula Shrewsbury, Leslie Allee, Dan Herms, and others
An inspiring look at how plants and insects intersect in the most incredible ways
Why gardening for bugs is just as important to the greater world as it is to your garden
Tips for creating insectary plantings and borders to support a broad range of beneficials
The acclaimed first edition of Attracting Beneficial Bugs to Your Garden ushered in a new way to garden; one that appreciates and understands of the power of returning a natural balance to the garden. This revised and updated edition continues to herald and expands on that same important message.

Das HANDBUCH DER ZOOLOGIE umschlie t das gesamte Tierreich - Wirbeltiere und Wirbellose. Es bietet einen umfassenden und zugleich detaillierten berblick zur Systematik und Morphologie der Tiere und beinhaltet ausf hrliche Erl uterungen weiterer Aspekte, wie der Physiologie, des Verhaltens, der kologie und der angewandten Zoologie. Auch wenn das Wissen ber viele taxonomische Gruppen in den letzten Jahrzehnten enorm gewachsen ist, besteht das ehrgeizige Ziel des HANDBUCH DER ZOOLOGIE weiterhin darin, mit Texten und wissenschaftlichen Verweisen eine umfassende, solide Basis f r die weiterf hrende Forschung zu bieten. Die neuen Beitr ge zu der Reihe sind das Ergebnis der gemeinsamen Arbeit des internationalen Herausgeber- und Autorenteams. Dieses Team strebt eine ausgeglichene Betrachtung der Artenvielfalt und Diversit t, der Bedeutung bestimmter Gruppen im phylogenetischen Kontext, des historischen und aktuellen Kenntnisstands und der entsprechenden Quellen an. Alle Beitr ge werden auf Englisch ver ffentlicht und sind auf die internationale wissenschaftliche Gemeinschaft ausgerichtet.
Demn chst NEU: Annelida (Band 1), Mammalia und Miscellaneous Invertebrates , mit Erkenntnissen aus laufenden Forschungsprojekten. Geplant: Bryozoa, Nannomecoptera und Neomecoptera, Nemertea, Strepsiptera, weitere B nde in der Annelida-Reihe und Bearbeitung der B nde zu Reptilia.
Hintergrund
Vor einem Jahrhundert wurde durch Professor Willi K kenthal in Berlin das Projekt um das 'HANDBUCH DER ZOOLOGIE' ins Leben gerufen. In diesem, heute renommierten Nachschlagewerk, wird die Naturgeschichte der St mme des Tierreiches von den Einzellern bis zu den S ugetieren in acht B nden mit thematischem Schwerpunkt behandelt:
Band I Protozoa, Porifera, Colenteratea, Mesozoa (1925)
Band II Vermes (1933/34); Band III Arthropoda ex. Insecta (1927/1932)
Band IV Arthropoda: Insecta; Band V Solenogastres, Mollusca, Echinoderma (1925)
Band VI Pisces / Amphibia (1930)
Band VII Reptilia / Aves (1931)
Band VIII Mammalia.
Die B nde IV Arthopoda: Insecta und VII Mammalia werden bis dato kontinuierlich in neuer Z hlung durch neuste Forschungsergebnisse und in englischer Sprache erweitert.
In den letzten Jahrzehnten folgen die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse immer rascher aufeinander. Um seiner Stellung als Standardwerk gerecht zu bleiben und auch den heutigen Nutzeranforderungen zu folgen, wurde das HANDBUCH DER ZOOLOGIE in 2010 neu strukturiert und alle B nde neben den gedruckten Werken auch als E-Book verlegt. Die urspr nglichen acht B nde wurden zugunsten kleinerer, flexibler Einheiten, welche dem heutigen Stand der Phylogenie besser entsprechen, aufgel st.
Das HANDBUCH DER ZOOLOGIE wird au erdem als das vorliegende Online Nachschlagewerk HANDBOOK OF ZOOLOGY ONLINE angeboten. Der urspr ngliche Inhalt des Handbuchs (ca. 28.000 Seiten) wurde nach taxonomischen statt bibliographischen Kategorien neu geordnet und bildet die historische Grundlage des HANDBOOK OF ZOOLOGY ONLINE.
