This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi authored identification manual presents illustrated keys to the 34 subfamilies and 404 genera of the family Braconidae from the New World. Information about all New World genera described up to 1994 is included which represents an expanded and updated version of the information published in the 1987 Nearctic manual by Marsh, et. al. The manual consists of 37 chapters by world authorities plus an index to generic names including subgenera and synonyms, and an appendix listing all the New World genera alphabetically by subfamily. The first chapter provides an introduction including a review of braconid biology, literature, classification, biogeography, collection and curation, and a discussion of the manual format. The second chapter is an extensive illustrated discussion of braconid morphology and terminologies used in the keys. The third chapter is a fully illustrated key to the New World subfamilies of the Braconidae. The New World subfamilies are then presented separately in the remaining 34 chapters. For each, a key to the New World genera is included. Each of these keys is annotated to include estimated number of species, distribution, hosts, and critical references for each genus. Each subfamily chapter is extensively illustrated and the entire manual contains over 750 line drawings and scanning electron micrographs.This is the second edition of the sold out book and it contains separate notes on updates to all braconid subfamilies.

Download or read book The Braconid and Ichneumonid Parasitoid Wasps written by Donald L. J. Quicke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ichneumonoidea is a vast and important superfamily of parasitic wasps, with some 60,000 described species and estimated numbers far higher, especially for small-bodied tropical taxa. The superfamily comprises two cosmopolitan families - Braconidae and Ichneumonidae - that have largely attracted separate groups of researchers, and this, to a considerable extent, has meant that understanding of their adaptive features has often been considered in isolation. This book considers both families, highlighting similarities and differences in their adaptations. The classification of the whole of the Ichneumonoidea, along with most other insect orders, has been plagued by typology whereby undue importance has been attributed to particular characters in defining groups. Typology is a common disease of traditional taxonomy such that, until recently, quite a lot of taxa have been associated with the wrong higher clades. The sheer size of the group, and until the last 30 or so years, lack of accessible identification materials, has been a further impediment to research on all but a handful of ‘lab rat’ species usually cultured initially because of their potential in biological control. New evidence, largely in the form of molecular data, have shown that many morphological, behavioural, physiological and anatomical characters associated with basic life history features, specifically whether wasps are ecto- or endoparasitic, or idiobiont or koinobiont, can be grossly misleading in terms of the phylogeny they suggest. This book shows how, with better supported phylogenetic hypotheses entomologists can understand far more about the ways natural selection is acting upon them. This new book also focuses on this superfamily with which the author has great familiarity and provides a detailed coverage of each subfamily, emphasising anatomy, taxonomy and systematics, biology, as well as pointing out the importance and research potential of each group. Fossil taxa are included and it also has sections on biogeography, global species richness, culturing and rearing and preparing specimens for taxonomic study. The book highlights areas where research might be particularly rewarding and suggests systems/groups that need investigation. The author provides a large compendium of references to original research on each group. This book is an essential workmate for all postgraduates and researchers working on ichneumonoid or other parasitic wasps worldwide. It will stand as a reference book for a good number of years, and while rapid advances in various fields such as genomics and host physiological interactions will lead to new information, as an overall synthesis of the current state it will stay relevant for a long time.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the result of a course on identification of Hymenoptera given three times since 1985 at the Centre for Land and Biological Resources Research. The considerable interest in these courses indicated the need for a comprehensive identification guide to all extant families of Hymenoptera. The main emphasis is on family identification using the keys, which are complemented by family sketches. The sketches include a taxonomic diagnosis to supplement the keys, a summary of the biology, the size and distribution, and important literature references.
