Book excerpt: "False blister beetles," sometimes known also as "pollen feeding beetles," are unique in that adults of all the approximately 1,000 species in the world are obligate pollen feeders. They obtain their common name because many species cause blisters when pinched or squashed against the skin. Being pollen feeders, they are often common on flowers.
Book Synopsis A Guide to the Beetles of Australia by : George Hangay
Download or read book A Guide to the Beetles of Australia written by George Hangay and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2010-04-27 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guide to the Beetles of Australia provides a comprehensive introduction to the Coleoptera – a huge and diverse group of insects. Beetles make up 40 per cent of all insects known to science. The number of described beetle species in the world – around 350 000 – is more than six times the number of all vertebrate species. New beetle species are being discovered all the time. Of the 30 000 species that may occur in Australia, only 20 000 have been scientifically described. These include around 6500 weevils (Curculionidae), 2600 scarabs, dung beetles and chafers (Scarabaeidae); and 2250 leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae). A Guide to the Beetles of Australia highlights the enormous diversity of this unique insect Order. It emphasises the environmental role of beetles, their relationships with other plants and animals, and their importance to humans. Winner of the 2010 Whitley Medal.

This book was released on 1995-12-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the popular and informative What Bit Me? Identifying Hawaii's Stinging and Biting Insects and their Kin answer these and other questions in this long-awaited standard reference on Hawaii's household "bugs." What's Bugging Me? helps you identify those ants, spiders, termites, beetles, silverfish, and cockroaches that invade your home and offers effective strategies for dealing with them. A range of anti-pest weapons--not just chemicals--is given, emphasizing a modern "integrated control" approach. What's Bugging Me? teaches techniques for prevention, early detection, and monitoring of pest problems. It recommends specific methods that target the pest, not methods that merely poison the environment. Many inexpensive home remedies are suggested. In every-day language accessible to homeowners and apartment dwellers, the authors provide a wealth of authoritative information that will also benefit pest control operators, landscapers, builders, and entomology professionals.

Book Synopsis Blister Beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) of Wisconsin by :
Download or read book Blister Beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) of Wisconsin written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meloids are commonly referred to as "blister beetles" due to the toxin (cantharidin) they possess which can cause blistering of human skin. Several meloid species have long histories of negatively impacting agriculture resulting from large foraging aggregations and negatively impacting livestock health. Even with these important and interesting aspects, little is known about these beetles in their natural habitats. There are recent faunistic surveys of selected insect taxa in Wisconsin but a formal investigation of Meloidae is lacking. The blister beetle fauna of several states has been published, but this survey represents the first in the Midwestern United States. This study provides a comprehensive list of all meloid species documented from Wisconsin, as well as taxonomic keys and summaries for each species (species pages) which includes taxonomy, description, and natural history. During this survey, 28 species in seven genera were documented in Wisconsin, with 10 species considered new state records. Initial efforts identified Gnathium minimum (Say) with a limited distribution in Wisconsin which represents a peripheral or even disjunct population for the species. For these reasons I chose to further investigate the ecology of G. minimum. A marking study of G. minimum at Spring Green Prairie State Natural Area resulted in recapturing 54 of the 104 marked adults from 24 July to 16 August 2008. The maximum daily count was 34 while the maximum daily Jolly-Seber population size estimate was 59 individuals. Most individuals remained within 12 m of their original capture location, but 601 m was the maximum movement detected. I also conducted a G. minimum population genetics study to compare the genetic variation and magnitude of genetic differentiation of the Wisconsin peripheral population compared to the core population. The percent of polymorphic loci was 52.3 and 52.9, and expected heterozygosity 0.1815 and 0.1883 for the Kansas/Colorado and New Mexico/Texas regions, respectively. Specimens from Wisconsin had a lower percent of polymorphic loci (36.8) and expected heterozygosity (0.1438). FST values, isolation-by-distance patterns, and GENELAND genetic clusters provide evidence that dispersal among sampling locations is greater in the core population and that local populations in Wisconsin are more isolated.
Book Synopsis Aquatic Monocotyledons of North America by : Donald H. Les
Download or read book Aquatic Monocotyledons of North America written by Donald H. Les and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together information on the natural history, ecology and systematics of North American aquatic monocotyledons. The book is an overview of the biology of major aquatic species by compiling information from numerous sources that lie scattered among the primary literature, herbarium databases, and other reference sources. Information on more than 300 species in 87 genera of monocotyledons will be included. Recent phylogenetic analyses will be incorporated. Although focusing specifically on North America, the cosmopolitan distribution of many aquatic plants should make this an attractive text to people working virtually anywhere outside of the region as well.
