Download or read book Entomological Guide Ephemeroptera Trichoptera Plecoptera written by Roberto Messori and published by Fly Line di Roberto Messori. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three guides for the systematic diagnosis of the insects directly along the rivers and streams. For the first time, the fly-fishing world has a perfect tool available to identify in a few minutes, or instantly, the aquatic insects belonging to the orders of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera. The guides are intended primarily for fly fishermen and for scientists working in the qualification of rivers, such as hydrobiologists, veterinarians and ichthyologists, who must frequently improvise if they aren't doing so already, even entomologists. The work consists of three guides (Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera and Plecoptera) designed to systematically determine the insects of these three orders. The system uses dichotomous keys complemented with photographs and drawings of the described morphological details. These keys are enriched with additional explanations which are in turn illustrated to simplify identification. But that's not all: where possible, tracking systems of "extreme simplicity" have been developed, as in the separation of Trichoptera families that are immediately recognizable by the characteristics of the case, or from particular features of the larvae do not build cases. One chapter is devoted entirely to the relationship between the Latin and English names of insects: all the insects that have an English name are identified along with the imitations that represent them; this link is extended to all the European species that may be of interest to the fly fisherman. With this information, it will be easy to associate any insect with its correct pattern in the English literature.
Download or read book Nymphs Stoneflies Caddisflies and Other Important Insects written by Ernest Schwiebert and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume II After the mayfly family, detailed in Nymphs: The Mayflies, the fly fisher must know the caddisfly, stonefly, and midge populations just as well to catch trout that are keyed in on such insects. Nymphs: Caddisflies, Stoneflies, and Other Important Species gives the reader all the essential information about identifying individual species of these insects throughout their North American range, and then delves into detailed instructions for scores of artificial patterns to imitate them. Few books in fishing literature have focused so closely on so many individual species of the particular genera of aquatic insects in this volume. And just as in Nymphs: The Mayflies, this book contains numerous stories and anecdotes from Schwiebert's travels that illuminate the selection and use of nymph patterns, and recount great days spent on the water as interpreted through one of the great minds of modern fly fishing.

Download or read book The Caddisfly Family Phryganeidae Trichoptera written by Glenn B. Wiggins and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1998-12-15 with total page 332 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.
