Book excerpt: Studies stimulated by the International Biological Program showed total insect faunal biomass and diversity to be greatest in the spring of the year, which matches increased plant growth and flowering at this time. Ground-inhabiting beetle studies indicated the family Tenebrionidae to be overwhelmingly dominant in biomass, but the family Staphylinidae to be richest in species numbers. Ant studies showed the chaparral community to be rich in ant species; seed gatherers were particularly important. Flower-visiting insects are more abundant and more species-rich in chaparral than in any other type of California vegetation. Bees especially are abundant and diversified and are responsible for most pollination. Postfire succession studies of insects indicate that the abundance of predators and flower visitors sharply increases following fire; parasitic and phytophagous insects (other than flower-visitors) increase more slowly. Insect herbivory appears to affect succession minimally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Southern California is home not only to the country's second largest metropolitan center but to an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 different kinds of insects. Insects of the Los Angeles Basin provides an introduction to more than 400 of the most conspicuous or curious of these invertebrate animals and to about 70 spiders, mites and ticks, and related forms. With color photographs or drawings of all but a few species, the text describes the size and most striking physical characteristics of adults and immature stages and gives information on locomotion and behavior, offensive and defensive maneuvers, mating rituals, food preferences, nests and traps, and noises and scents. The specific habitat and general geographic range of each insect are included, as are lore and superstition regarding some notorious species." "The author, Dr. Charles L. Hogue, has answered the questions that he was most often asked in his position as Curator of Entomology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The result is a highly readable text with an emphasis on the effects that insects have on the people who encounter them."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Phytogeographic and Taxonomic Study of the Southern California Trees and Shrubs The topography is broken and irregular, with numerous moun tain ranges separated by narrow passes or valleys of greater or less extent. The main axis of these mountains lies generally parallel with the coast at a distance of 40 to 120 kilometers inland. At intervals of 60 to 100 kilometers narrow passes divide this axis into several rather distinct sections. Of these sections the north ernmost, which lies between Tejon and Soledad Passes, is composed of a series of comparatively low, Chaparral-covered mountains, the culminating peak of which (liebre Mountain) is only 1737 meters above the sea. South of Soledad Pass, between it and Cajon Pass, are the rugged peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains, which rise abruptly out of the coastal valleys to altitudes ranging from 1800 to over 3000 meters (mount San Antonio 3024 meters). The San Bernardino Mountains, although less broken and irreg ular, reach even higher altitudes. In this range, which is separated by the narrow Cajon Pass from the San Gabriel Mountains, is the highest mountain south of the Sierra Nevada (san Gorgonio, 3428 meters). Extending southeastward from Mount San Gorgonio, at a much lower altitude, are the desert ranges, the Cottonwood and the Chuckawalla Mountains, which separate the Mohave and the Colorado Deserts. To the southward, again, between the Colorado Desert and the coastal region, rise the San Jacinto Mountains. The eastern base of Mount San Jacinto, the highest peak in this range, rests almost directly upon the low depressions of the Colorado Desert (palm Springs, altitude 137 meters) while its summit, scarcely eight miles distant in an air line, rises with an almost sheer ascent to 3242 meters. South of the San Jacinto Mountains are the less rugged Palomar, Santa Rosa, and Cuia maca Mountains. This series of mountain ranges divides the deserts from the coastal region, and is one of the principal factors which influence the climate of southern California. The arid desert country east of the mountains, comprising over one half the entire area of southern California, is separated by the Cottonwood and Chuckawalla Mountains into two distinct divisions, the Mohave and the Colorado Deserts.
