Book excerpt: Phasmida is an insect order containing what is commonly referred to as stick insects or walking sticks. The order also includes the leaf mimicking insect family: Phylliidae. There are just over 3400 described species of stick insects, distributed in an estimated SI I genera, predominantly inhabiting tropical and subtropical regions of the world.

Download or read book The Complete Field Guide to Stick and Leaf Insects of Australia written by Paul D Brock and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2009-01-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia has a rich diversity of phasmids – otherwise known as stick and leaf insects. Most of them are endemic, few have been studied and new species continue to be found. Stick insects are, by far, Australia’s longest insects – some of them reach up to 300 mm in body length, or more than half a metre if you include their outstretched legs. Many stick insects are very colourful, and some have quite elaborate, defensive behaviour. Increasingly they are being kept as pets. This is the first book on Australian phasmids for nearly 200 years and covers all known stick and leaf insects. It includes photographs of all species, notes on their ecology and biology as well as identification keys suitable for novices or professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documents morphology, taxonomy, phylogeny, evolutionary changes, and interactions of 23 orders of insects from the Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous faunas in Northern China This book showcases 23 different orders of insect fossils from the Mid Mesozoic period (165 to 125 Ma) that were discovered in Northeastern China. It covers not only their taxonomy and morphology, but also their potential implications on natural sciences, such as phylogeny, function, interaction, evolution, and ecology. It covers fossil sites; paleogeology; co-existing animals and plants in well-balanced eco-systems; insects in the spotlight; morphological evolution and functional development; and interactions of insects with co-existing plants, vertebrates, and other insects. The book also includes many elegant and beautiful photographs, line drawings, and 3-D reconstructions of fossilized and extant insects. Rhythms of Insect Evolution: Evidence from the Jurassic and Cretaceous in Northern China features chapter coverage of such insects as the: Ephemeroptera; Odonata; Blattaria; Isoptera; Orthoptera; Notoptera; Dermaptera; Chresmodidae; Phasmatodea; Plecoptera; Psocoptera; Homoptera; Heteroptera; Megaloptera; Raphidioptera; Neuroptera; Coleoptera; Hymenoptera Diptera; Mecoptera; Siphonaptera; Trichoptera and Lepidoptera. Combines academic natural science, popular science, and artistic presentation to illustrate rhythms of evolution for fossil insects from the Mid Mesozoic of Northern China Documents morphology, taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolutionary changes of 23 orders of insects from the Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous faunas in Northern China Presents interactions of insects with plants, vertebrates, and other insects based on well-preserved fossil evidence Uses photos of extant insects and plants, fossil and amber specimens, line drawings, and 3-D computer-generated reconstruction artworks to give readers clear and enjoyable impressions of the scientific findings Introduces insect-related stories from western and Chinese culture in text or sidebars to give global readers broader exposures Rhythms of Insect Evolution: Evidence from the Jurassic and Cretaceous in Northern China will appeal to entomologists, evolutionists, paleontologists, paleoecologists, and natural scientists.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Synopsis of the Species of Insects Belonging to the Family of Phasmidae Having been recently led to study the singular and interesting family of Orthopterous Insects, termed Phasmidae, in order to elucidate the characters of the sixteen species described in the first part of my 'Entomology of Australia, ' I have been induced to arrange the materials collected for that purpose in the form of an Essay, the object of which is to present a complete list of all the recorded insects belonging to the family, and to embrace at the same time descriptions of a considerable number of new forms which have fallen under my observation. The result of my researches may form a not uninteresting addition to the small stock of knowledge at present possessed by entomologists with regard to this striking but neglected group. Of the extent of this knowledge, and its gradual development, some idea may be formed from the following outline of what has been written upon the subject since the days of Linnaeus, who first placed these insects in the genus Gryllus, but afterwards removed them to that of Mantis. In this latter mode of arrangement he was followed by Gmelin, and by Fabricius in his earlier publications; but in the year 1787, Stoll, in his 'Representations exactement coloriees dapres Nature des Spectres, ' &c, proposed to form the Spectres into a distinct family (genus) from Mantis. To this genus, in the commencement of his work, he gave the name of Spectrum: at the end, however, he gave a list of the species figured by him from various Dutch collections, and amounting in number to 27, with Latin specific names, to which he prefixed the generic appellation of Phasma. He divided the genus thus formed into two families, characterized as follows: "1.Les pieds anterieurs plus longs que les posterieurs; le corps tout a fait cylindrique. "2.Le corps plat; les pieds anterieurs plus courts que les posterieurs. Dans quelques especes les femellesont les etuis aussi longs que les ailes.
