Book Synopsis Australian Dragonflies by : J Watson
Download or read book Australian Dragonflies written by J Watson and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragonflies are conspicuous insects. Many are large; they fly strongly; most are brightly coloured. As a result, they have been collected extensively. Their larvae are less familiar. 'Mud-eyes', as some are called, are drab, and almost all live in fresh waters, out of sight. They are, perhaps, best known as bait for freshwater fish. The dragonflies constitute a very distinct order of insects, the Odonata. In Australia, two suborders are represented: damselflies (Zygoptera), generally very slender insects, the fore- and hindwings similar in shape and venation and commonly held closed above the body at rest (Figs 46-63), the larvae with external gills on the end of the abdomen (Figs 4A-C, E); and dragonflies proper (Anisoptera), stouter, stronger-flying insects, the fore- and hindwings more or less dissimilar in shape and venation and commonly held spread at rest (Figs 64-101), the larvae with internal, rectal gills (see Chapter 2). Living representatives of the third suborder (Anisozygoptera) are confined to Japan and the Himalayas. The term 'dragonfly' is commonly applied to the entire order.

Book Synopsis The Complete Field Guide to Dragonflies of Australia by : Gunther Theischinger
Download or read book The Complete Field Guide to Dragonflies of Australia written by Gunther Theischinger and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2006-10-12 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragonflies and damselflies are conspicuous insects – many are large and brightly coloured. Here for the first time is a comprehensive guide to the Australian dragonfly fauna. The book includes identification keys not only for adults but also for their larvae, commonly known as ‘mud eyes’ and often used as bait for freshwater fish. With stunning full-colour images and distribution maps, the book covers all 30 families, 110 genera and 324 species found in Australia. Dragonflies are valuable indicators of environmental well-being. A detailed knowledge of the dragonfly fauna and its changes is therefore an important basis for decisions about environmental protection and management. Their extraordinary diversity will interest entomologists and amateur naturalists alike.
Book Synopsis Dragonflies and Damselflies of South Africa by : Michael J. Samways
Download or read book Dragonflies and Damselflies of South Africa written by Michael J. Samways and published by Pensoft Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragonflies are a beautiful, important and conspicuous component of freshwater, whether still or flowing. South Africa's dragonflies are particularly interesting as many are special or endemic to the area, making it a part of the world of great conservation significance. This book discusses this exciting dragonfly fauna. Dragonflies are a beautiful, important and conspicuous component of freshwater, whether still or flowing. They are also important indicators of freshwater quality and condition, which is significant for current and future conservation initiatives in South Africa. The country's dragonflies are particularly interesting as many are special or endemic to the area, making it a part of the world of great conservation significance. Sadly however, many of these endemic species are highly threatened, especially by invasive alien trees which shade out their habitat. This book is about this exciting dragonfly fauna. Besides aiming at increasing awareness of these lovely and sensitive insects, it enables their identification, using several approaches, from simple flick-through to the use of comprehensive identification keys. Each species is also given a Dragonfly Biotic Index, covering a spectrum from the most common, widespread and tolerant species through to the most threatened, rare and sensitive ones. Michael Samways is Professor and Chair of the Department of Conservation Ecology and Entomology, Stellenbosch University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa and a Fellow of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. He has published 260 scientific papers and written several books on insect biology and conservation, the most recent of which is Insect Diversity Conservation, Cambridge University Press. He has won several awards, and in the last two years, these include the Stellenbosch University Rector's Award for Research Excellence, the John Herschel Medal from the Royal Society of South Africa, and the Senior Captain Scott Medal from the South African Academy for Science and Art. Michael is on several international editorial boards and involved with various international committees devoted to invertebrate conservation. Indeed, his research team is dedicated to the conservation of invertebrates and other biodiversity, which so enrich our planet.

Book Synopsis The Dragonflies of New Zealand by : Richard J. Rowe
Download or read book The Dragonflies of New Zealand written by Richard J. Rowe and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of Odonata or dragonfly species in New Zealand is limited - 17 against 40 in the British Isles. This means it is possible with a little practice to identify almost every species while they flying free, and to study them in depth without having to labour over identification. While this book is as scientifically accurate as possible, it is written for the general reader with a taste for natural history. Includes coloured photographs and line drawings, diagrams and distribution maps, a glossary and a key to identification.

Book Synopsis Atlas of Butterflies and Diurnal Moths in the Monsoon Tropics of Northern Australia by : Michael Braby
Download or read book Atlas of Butterflies and Diurnal Moths in the Monsoon Tropics of Northern Australia written by Michael Braby and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northern Australia is one of few tropical places left on Earth in which biodiversity—and the ecological processes underpinning that biodiversity—is still relatively intact. However, scientific knowledge of that biodiversity is still in its infancy and the region remains a frontier for biological discovery. The butterfly and diurnal moth assemblages of the area, and their intimate associations with vascular plants (and sometimes ants), exemplify these points. However, the opportunity to fill knowledge gaps is quickly closing: proposals for substantial development and exploitation of Australia’s north will inevitably repeat the ecological devastation that has occurred in temperate southern Australia—loss of species, loss of ecological communities, fragmentation of populations, disruption of healthy ecosystem function and so on—all of which will diminish the value of the natural heritage of the region before it is fully understood and appreciated. Written by several experts in the field, the main purpose of this atlas is to compile a comprehensive inventory of the butterflies and diurnal moths of northern Australia to form the scientific baseline against which the extent and direction of change can be assessed in the future. Such information will also assist in identifying the region’s biological assets, to inform policy and management agencies and to set priorities for biodiversity conservation.
