Book Synopsis Atlas of Insects Beneficial to Forest Trees by : Bohumil Starý
Download or read book Atlas of Insects Beneficial to Forest Trees written by Bohumil Starý and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1988 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the present time, the position of modern integrated protection of forests menaced by pests is increasing in importance, and not just because of demands on the quality and quantity of wood being raised. It is steadily becoming more necessary to revise the consequences of the often imprudent, although sometimes seemingly effective, chemical control in forest biocoenosis. Additionally, harmful insects are becoming more resistant to pesticides and so increasing the chance of accidentally jeopardizing plants. In the future concept of integrated forest pest control, we may therefore expect the population density of many harmful species to be regulated to a larger degree by biological control. This book discusses the economic importance of insects beneficial to the protection of forest trees, and provides information on their biology. The text and the pictorial section to this book divide beneficial insects into predators and parasites. The first section is devoted to predators, particularly ants, the most frequent insect species found in forests. Scale bugs, groups of predatory beetles, Neuroptera and Diptera are also mentioned. The second part describes parasitic insects. For this reason, representatives of the order Hymenoptera are mentioned twice: in the first section, among predators (ants) and, in the second part, among the parasites (ichneumons, braconids, chalcid-flies and Aphidiids). Similarly, Diptera are listed in the first section under predatory species (robber flies and lonchaeids) and then at the end of the text under parasitic species (tachinid-flies). An index of scientific names of the illustrated species and a short terminology complete the book. The book is intended as a text book for forestry and agricultural schools, and as a reference text for those concerned with the biological protection of forests, i.e. forest researchers, entomologists and biologists.

Download or read book Nature's Temples written by Joan Maloof and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Maloof eloquently urges us to cherish the wildness of what little old-growth woodlands we have left. . . . Not only are they home to the richest diversity of creatures, but they work hard for humans too.” —New York Times Book Review An old-growth forest is one that has formed naturally over a long period of time with little or no disturbance from humankind. They are increasingly rare and largely misunderstood. In Nature’s Temples, Joan Maloof, the director of the Old-Growth Forest Network, makes a heartfelt and passionate case for their importance. This evocative and accessible narrative defines old-growth and provides a brief history of forests. It offers a rare view into how the life-forms in an ancient, undisturbed forest—including not only its majestic trees but also its insects, plant life, fungi, and mammals—differ from the life-forms in a forest manipulated by humans. What emerges is a portrait of a beautiful, intricate, and fragile ecosystem that now exists only in scattered fragments. Black-and-white illustrations by Andrew Joslin help clarify scientific concepts and capture the beauty of ancient trees.
Book Synopsis Environmental Sampling for Trace Analysis by : Bernd Markert
Download or read book Environmental Sampling for Trace Analysis written by Bernd Markert and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often too little attention is given to the sampling before and after actual instrumental measurement. This leads to errors, despite increasingly sensitive analytical systems. This is one of the first books to pay proper attention to representative sampling. It offers an overview of the most common techniques used today for taking environmental samples. The techniques are clearly presented, yield accurate and reproducible results and can be used to sample - air - water - soils and sediments - plants and animals. A comprehensive handbook, this volume provides an excellent starting point for researchers in the rapidly expanding field of environmental analysis.
Book Synopsis Biology of the Plant Bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) by : Alfred George Wheeler
Download or read book Biology of the Plant Bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) written by Alfred George Wheeler and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant bugs--Miridae, the largest family of the Heteroptera, or true bugs--are globally important pests of crops such as alfalfa, apple, cocoa, cotton, sorghum, and tea. Some also are predators of crop pests and have been used successfully in biological control. Certain omnivorous plant bugs have been considered both harmful pests and beneficial natural enemies of pests on the same crop, depending on environmental conditions or the perspective of an observer.As high-yielding varieties that lack pest resistance are planted, mirids are likely to become even more important crop pests. They also threaten crops as insecticide resistance in the family increases, and as the spread of transgenic crops alters their populations. Predatory mirids are increasingly used as biocontrol agents, especially of greenhouse pests such as thrips and whiteflies. Mirids provide abundant opportunities for research on food webs, intraguild predation, and competition.Recent worldwide activity in mirid systematics and biology testifies to increasing interest in plant bugs. The first thorough review and synthesis of biological studies of mirids in more than 60 years, Biology of the Plant Bugs will serve as the basic reference for anyone studying these insects as pests, beneficial IPM predators, or as models for ecological research.

Book Synopsis Traces of Common Xylophagous Insects in Wood by : Magali Toriti
Download or read book Traces of Common Xylophagous Insects in Wood written by Magali Toriti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This atlas presents a concrete tool to identify xylophagous activity by the remains they left in wooded areas in Western Europe. Xylophagous insects are among the largest predators of woody tissues. They leave discriminating traces, different for each species according to their bioecology, and so it is necessary to know how to recognize and characterize them. The book is a practical tool to help identify and interpret them through a standardized presentation of the most ubiquitous families and a key to their determination. It presents descriptions of the galleries and of morphometry of the faecal pellets based on macroscopic features for xylophagous identification, and includes information about the origin and distribution of the xylophagous biological cycles, bioclimatic conditions and bioecology, and the type of woods that are attacked. The book will be a useful guide for forest managers, heritage conservationists, environmental engineers, bioarchaeologists, entomologists, loggers, and wood anatomists.
