Download or read book Revision of the Neotropical bark mantis genus Liturgusa Saussure, 1869 (Insecta, Mantodea, Liturgusini) written by Gavin J. Svenson and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neotropical praying mantises of the genus Liturgusa (Saussure) are comprehensively treated after receiving little or no taxonomic attention after their original descriptions. All species are strictly associated with tree bark habitats and appear flattened and highly camouflage while also being adept runners that will actively hide by fleeing to the opposite side of a tree trunk if disturbed; some species have even been observed fluttering to the forest floor and playing dead. This work includes redescriptions of the genus and all previously described species, descriptions of three new genera and 19 new species, identification of four new synonyms, complete bibliographies for each species, a key to identify males and females, locality data for all examined specimens, measurement ranges for all species, diagnostic illustrations, and high resolution images of types and representative specimens. This work triples the known diversity of Neotropical bark mantises and documents their natural history as well as geographic distribution, which includes central Mexico south to Bolivia and east to southern Brazil.

Download or read book Studies in the Taxonomy and Biodiversity of South African Orthopteroids written by Lauren Ashley Spearman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1: A volume co-authored by Daniel Otte and Lauren Spearman which was published in 2005 (Mantida Species File) lists the taxonomic histories for all mantid species described up until 2005. In 2009, the published catalog was converted to a freely accessible, searchable online catalog [http://Mantodea.SpeciesFile.org]. Both published media include 17 families (including fossils), 47 subfamilies, 51 tribes, 446 genera and 2452 species. Chapter 2: Two South African parks, Mountain Zebra (MZNP) and Vaalbos (VNP) National Parks, were sampled to determine the density, diversity, compositional similarity, and seasonal species turnover of the grasshopper communities. The two parks represented two of the biomes found in South Africa: grassland in MZNP and savanna in VNP. Overall 50 species were documented consisting of 2,454 individual adult grasshoppers collected over the course of two seasons from both localities. The effectiveness of the sampling protocol is discussed with suggestions for future grasshopper community studies. Chapter 3: The South African flightless Hemiacridinae genus Loryma is revised for the first time, with 21 new species described. Species keys, a preliminary reference chart of species, extensive photography of external and internal morphology, and distribution maps are provided. Morphology figures labeled with internal and external terminology are included. Two provisional Loryma species-groups are proposed: Epiphallic Apodeme species-group and the No Epiphallic Apodeme species-group. The majority of the Epiphallic Apodeme species-group members are found in succulent karoo biome, with one species in the grassland biome, whereas the majority of the No Epiphallic Apodeme species-group members are found in the fynbos biome. Lorymaini is addressed, tribe members Hemiloryma, Dirshacris and Labidioloryma are photographed, a list of diagnostic differences is provided, and a key to the genera is given.

This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent phylogenetic studies on evolutionary relationships within the Acanthopoidea, known as “polymorphic earless praying mantises,” revealed numerous issues with the taxonomic status and morphological boundaries of many genera and species within this superfamily. The authors of this monograph present a thorough morphological assessment based on museum specimens and reexamination of type material, aimed toward redefining the morphological delineation of all Acanthopoidea genera, verifying the generic identity of all nominal species within the superfamily, and establishing taxonomic and nomenclatural foundations for future revisionary studies of acanthopoid genera. Their work resulted in numerous modifications in the taxonomy of this lineage, including the description of a new genus.

Book excerpt: Descended from a long and ancient lineage, tapirs are important tropical forest seed dispersers. However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations. It provides a brief natural history of each species and its objective is to aid in their conservation by catalyzing conservation action. In addition, it is hoped that the contents of the plan will stimulate further research into this fascinating group of animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative guide, master art instructor William Maughan demonstrates how to create a realistic human likeness by using the classic and highly accurate modeling technique of chiaroscuro (Italian for “light and dark”) developed by Leonardo da Vinci during the High Renaissance. Maughan first introduces readers to the basics of this centuries-old technique, showing how to analyze form, light, and shadow; use dark pencil, white pencil, and toned paper to create a full range of values; use the elements of design to enhance a likeness; and capture a sitter’s gestures and proportions. He then demonstrates, step by step, how to draw each facial feature, develop visual awareness, and render the head in color with soft pastels.

Download or read book Hot Embossing written by Matthias Worgull and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an overview of replication technology for micro- and nanostructures, focusing on the techniques and technology of hot embossing, a scaleable and multi-purpose technology for the manufacture of devices such as BioMEMS and microfluidic devices which are expected to revolutionize a wide range of medical and industrial processes over the coming decade.The hot embossing process for replicating microstructures was developed by the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) where the author is head of the Nanoreplication Group. Worgull fills a gap in existing information by fully detailing the technology and techniques of hot embossing. He also covers nanoimprinting, a process related to hot embossing, with examples of actual research topics and new applications in nanoreplication. A practical and theoretical guide to selecting the materials, machinery and processes involved in microreplication using hot embossing techniques Compares different replication processes such as: micro injection molding, micro thermoforming, micro hot embossing, and nanoimprinting Details commercially available hot embossing machinery and components like tools and mold inserts
