This book was released on 1998-12-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of much of the scientific work in natural history museums is to explore and document the biological diversity of the planet. This book is an outstanding example of the museum tradition, offering the results of global research on the biosystematics of one of the families of case-making caddisflies, the Phryganeidae. Throughout his career as a museum curator, Glenn Wiggins has studied and written extensively on caddisflies of the aquatic insect order Trichoptera. Information acquired from field work and museum collections, and from the biological literature is synthesized into a taxonomic monograph. The Phryganeidae are the largest of all the caddisflies, but existing literature has led to problems in species identification, especially in Asia; nine species names were found to be synonyms of others, an unsually high proportion of 10 per cent of the described species. Fifteen genera comprising seventy-four species are recognized here, including three that are new to science. Generic keys are provided for adults, larvae, and pupae; keys to species are given for adults. Morphological structures used in the keys are fully illustrated in 246 line drawings and half-tone plates. Distribution maps are provided for most of the North American species. Hypotheses are inferred for the phylogeny of the genera, and for the species in each genus; the fossil history of the Phryganeidae is reviewed. From this base, the biogeography of the family is interpreted. Of evolutionary interest is an extraordinary relationship between larval case-making and pupation behaviour and the degradation of functional pupal mandibles. Contrasting colour patterns of the wings in some species of the Phryganeidae are interpreted for the first time in the Trichoptera as part of a protective warning system to deter predators. Variation in genitalic morphology far exceeding normal species limits is documented in two species, and the evolutionary implications are considered. Combined with fossil evidence that the Phryganeidae are the oldest of the case-making Trichoptera still extant, several of the atypical morphological and behavioural attributes discussed in this book can be interpreted as plesiomorphic, placing the Phryganeidae in a pivotal position for inferring phylogeny in the Trichoptera. A revised classification embodying much new information is proposed for the family Phryganeidae. The taxonomy, biology, and evolution of no other family of caddisflies has been treated as extensively.

Book excerpt: This is the first exhaustive review of literature on marine insects, which are defined in this volume as those that spend at least part of their life in association with the marine environment. Not only are true insects, such as the Collembola and insect parasites of marine birds and mammals, considered, but also other kinds of intertidal air-breathing arthropods, notably spiders, scorpions, mites, centipedes and millipedes, which live and feed with, or even on, the insects of marine habitats. The chapters, written by leading authorities, are divided into two sections, the first treating primarily ecological aspects, the second dealing with major groups of insects in marine environments.

Download or read book A Guide to the Identification of Genera of Chironomid Pupal Exuviae Occurring in Britain and Ireland (including Common Genera from Northern Europe) and Their Use in Monitoring Lotic and Lentic Fresh Waters written by Ronald S. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 600 species of non-biting or "dancing" midges occur in Britain and Ireland, with many more on the continent of Europe. They are most noticeable when the adults perform mating flights in swarms along the shores of runningwater (lentic) and standing or still-water (lotic) habitats. The aquatic life-cycle of eggs, larvae and pupae usually lasts for a year or less. When adult midges emerge from their pupae the empty cast skins or pupal exuviae float on the water-surface and become part of the flotsam accumulating along strand-lines and in backwaters. In such places, pupal exuviae can be scooped-up easily with a long-handled pondnet, for subsequent identification under low magnification. This guide provides a series of multiple-choice keys for identifying the pupal exuviae of 145 genera and more than 100 selected species of Chironomidae that have been recorded from Britain and Ireland, including some that may become added to the list as they colonise the region from Northern Europe. The guide provides a simplified introduction to the complex taxonomy of the Family Chironomidae, and is intended for use by those who are not familiar with the group. The text is generously illustrated with line-drawings of important characters used for identification. An illustrated key is also given to separate the pupal exuviae of chironomids from the cast skins of other common aquatic insects that are similar in general appearance. All genera and species covered by the guide are allocated to one of four groups representing varying degrees of organic pollution, based on published knowledge of the ecological requirements of genera and individual species, and the authors' own extensive experience. Drs Wilson and Ruse use their Chironomid Pupal Exuvial Technique (CPET) to evaluate habitat diversity and the ecological quality of a wide variety of water-bodies, and to monitor any changes occurring in them. Their technique is comparable to others that are commonly employed in biological monitoring and assessment of water quality. CPET is summarised and briefly discussed in a special section of the text.
