Book The Braconid and Ichneumonid Parasitoid Wasps

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 2017-12-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Type Species of the Genera of Ichneumon Flies In working since 1902 on the classification of the Ichneumonoidea, a complex with some species distributed among over genera, it soon became evident to the writer that in order to do the most satisfactory work one of the first steps was to being up to date and keep up to date Dalla Torre's admirable catalogue. So far as the North American forms were concerned, this had been done prior to 1909, when the writer joined the Bureau of Entomology, United State Department of Agriculture. During the following four years, while in the Bureau of Entomology, the writer extended the work of cataloguing so as to include the whole world. This led up to the consideration of all known genera, and finally to the adjustment of their names by means of ascertaining the legal type of each genus, where the type had been already selected, and the designation of a type in all other cases. The necessity for such a procedure must be patent to all true friends of science, when it is remembered that. One of the chief ends of scientific nomenclature is stability and that this end can be best approximated, where generic names are at issue, by arguing the case of each name from the standpoint of the definite premise - the type of the genus - just as in the case of the species the type of each species is the final court of appeals.
