Download or read book Black Flies written by Ke Chung Kim and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black flies (simuliids) are among the most severe pests affecting humans and animals worldwide. Responsible for the transmission of onchocerciasis among humans and bovine onchocerciasis and avian malaria among wildlife and agricultural animals, black flies' competency as disease vectors is rivaled only by that of mosquitos and ticks. Because of their economic and medical importance, black flies have been the subject of intense research, tremendous progress having been achieved in many areas, including taxonomy, ecology, cytogenetics, biochemistry, and control. This book, evolving from an international conference of the world's foremost authorities, integrates for the first time the wide range of multidisciplinary research findings on black flies. The thirty-two chapters present a comprehensive discussion of systematics, biochemistry, sensory physiology, behavior and ecology of immatures and adults, population monitoring and management, current methods of control, and disease epidemiology. The annotated checklist identifies and provides geographical distribution of all formally described black flies in the world and includes almost 2,000 specific/subspecific and 121 generic/subgeneric names. The book provides a cohesive understanding of black flies and will be invaluable to entomologists, epidemiologists, biologists, veterinarians, parasitologists, and medical researchers concerned with developing an economically conservative, environmentally sound management system against black flies and simuliid-borne diseases worldwide.

Download or read book The Ecology of Running Waters written by Hugh Bernard Noel Hynes and published by Liverpool : Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this reprinted classic (originally published in 1971) Noel Hynes compiled a comprehensive, critical review of the literature pertaining to streams. Included are physical and chemical characteristics of flowing waters, plantlife, the benthos, fish and finally, man's effects on watercourses. The book continues to be widely read and influential in the field. "Professor Hynes has produced a superb book." Freshwater Biology. "Dr. Hynes is to be congratulated on writing so valuable a book" The Journal of Ecology. "This is an excellent book, mainly for the student and professional, to whom it will be a mine of information and sound ideas for many years." New Scientist and Science Journal "This book is a must for the student of aquatic biology. The book, like the author, can only be held in the highest esteem." The Canadian Field Naturalist Noel Hynes is Distinguished Emeritus Professor at the University of Waterloo. He received his Ph.D. in 1941 from the University of London. After a period in Trinidad studying tropical agriculture, and wartime work on locusts in East Africa, he was appointed to an academic post at the University of Liverpool. In 1964, he moved to Canada to build the Department of Biology at the University of Waterloo, where he remained until his retirement. His research has been concentrated upon the biology of rivers and streams, and he has published over 180 scientific papers, two scientific books and an autobiography. He has been honored by receiving the Neumann/Thienemann Medal of the International Society of Limnology, the highest honor in his field of work.

Download or read book A Review of the Mesoamerican and South American Black Flies of the Tribe Prosimuliini Simuliinae Simuliidae written by Pedro W. Wygodzinsky and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The black fly fauna of cool and cold temperate South America is composed of a comparatively small number of species of Simulium (Simuliinae, Simuliini) and several genera and species of the Prosimuliini. This survey of Neotropical Prosimuliini, which also includes Guatemalan and Mexican highland forms, is a taxonomic treatment mainly on the generic level accompanied by notes on biology and geographical distribution. The following genera, as arranged by their geographical areas, are dealt with: Mayacnephia, new genus (type: Simulium pachecolunai De Leon) and Tlalocomyia Wygodzinsky and Díaz Nájera (Mesoamerican highlands); Araucnephia, new genus (type: Simulium montanum Philippi) and Araucnephioides, new genus (type: Araucnephioides schlingeri, new species) (Mediterranean climate area of central Chile); Cnesia Enderlein, Cnesiamina, new genus (type: Simulium atroparvum Edwards) and Paraustrosimulium Wygodzinsky and Coscarón (Valdivian and Magellanic areas of southern Chile, and western Patagonia); and Lutzsimulium d'Andretta and d'Andretta (coastal ranges of southern Brazil). Species are also described, redescribed, or discussed as well as illustrated, except for the large genus Gigantodax which is planned to be monographed later. Cnesia ornata and Cnesia pusilla (western Patagonia) are new species; Cnesia gynandrum is synonymized with Cnesia dissimilis. None of the genera listed is found in America north of Mexico, or on other continents. It has not been possible to trace the origin and routes of dispersal of the Latin American prosimuliine genera, but some intergeneric affinities, especially among sympatric genera, are postulated"--P. 133.

Download or read book An Annotated Bibliography of Antarctic Invertebrates terrestrial and Freshwater written by William Block and published by Balogh Scientific Books. This book was released on 1992 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aims behind the bibliography are threefold: to collate information and data from the literature on Antarctic terrestrial and freshwater invertebrate animals, to provide a cross-referenced, indexed information system, and to make a preliminary lisiting of species records. Literature survey covers the period from the earliest South Polar Expedition on which invertebrates were recorded (1922-25) to the end of 1990. The bibliography comprises in excess of 1400 entries; the indexes provide a classification of invertebrates, taxonomic and species lists, an author index, a general subject index, a geographical or location index and a list of expeditions on which invertebrates were found.
