This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subfamily Centrotinae is the largest and only cosmopolitan subfamily within the treehopper family Membracidae (Insecta: Hemiptera: Membracidae). As the first comprehensive morphological study of the subfamily, this work includes: (a) phylogenetic analyses, (b) illustrated taxonomic keys and descriptions for identifying 23 tribes (6 new) and 2 unplaced genera, (c) new synonymies (1 generic, 11 tribal, 1 subfamilial), (d) a new lectotype designation, and (e) 5 new combinations. Of 216 genera here included in the subfamily, 207 are placed in tribes, 2 are unplaced but have known affinities, and 7 are too poorly known for placement. One genus formerly placed in the Centrotinae is placed as Membracidae, incertae sedis. Phylogenetic analyses were performed based on 116 morphological characters from the head, thorax, and abdomen of both sexes. These analyses (1 overall analysis of 24 tribes and 8 analyses of the larger tribes) resulted in a single most parsimonious tree showing a basal clade with one New World tribe, followed by two major clades--each with New World components basally followed by Old World components. These analyses demonstrated that the most recent classifications included numerous para- or polyphyletic tribes. Consequently, the tribal placements of 108 genera are changed so that all tribes are monophyletic. As here defined, the subfamily Centrotinae is also a monophyletic group supported by the synapomorphy of the presence of abdominal inornate pits, each with a lateral seta. Characters important in elucidating tribal relationships include features of: the male and female genitalia, the fore- and hind wings, the scutellum, leg chaetotaxy; and abdominal characteristics using scanning electron microscopy. Each tribal diagnosis and description is followed by notes on ecology and distribution, a list of included genera, specimens examined, and discussions of phylogeny and morphological characters. For most genera, the head, pronotum, wings, legs, male an.

Download or read book American Insects written by Ross H. Arnett, Jr. and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-07-28 with total page 1032 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a complete accounting of the insects of North America, this handbook is an up-dated edition of the first handbook ever compiled in the history of American entomology. By using American Insects, A Handbook of the Insects of America North of Mexico, Second Edition, readers can quickly determine the taxonomic position of any species, genus, or higher taxon of insect known to occur in America and Canada. Every order, family, and genus is conveniently numbered and indexed, making this volume the only complete single source for all of the names of orders, families, and genera currently available. This book fills the need for an accurate way to identify, with the several hundred drawings and photos, the common insects of all orders. Now there is a tool available to those working without a major collection and library; and those who would like to have a general knowledge of insect life without becoming overwhelmed by the vast number of minute insect species. This usable guide provides sizes, shapes, color patterns and salient features of some species of each major family by pointing out those groups most likely to be encountered, including all North America pests. What's New in this Edition? Researchers in many orders use the results of cladistics, a new tool for determining the relationship of orders, families, genera, and species of organisms, including plants as well as animals Specialists have provided lengthy lists of generic changes Many of the identification keys have been revised by adding more illustrations and making sure all description terms are in the Glossary The bibliographies of each Order section have been updated to include all important works that have appeared since the original edition

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an evolutionary biogeographic analysis of the Mexican Transition Zone, which is situated in the overlap of the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. It includes a comprehensive review of previous track, cladistic and molecular biogeographic analyses and is illustrated with full color maps and vegetation photographs of the respective areas covered. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to students and researchers whose work involves systematic and biogeographic analyses of plant and animal taxa of the Mexican Transition Zone or other transition zones of the world, and to ecologists working in biodiversity conservation, who will be able to appreciate the evolutionary relevance of the Mexican Transition Zone for establishing conservation areas..

This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a state-of-the-science overview of arthropods affecting grape production around the world. Vineyard pest management is a dynamic and evolving field, and the contributed chapters provide insights into arthropods that limit this important crop and its products. Written by international experts from the major grape-growing regions, it provides a global overview of arthropods affecting vines and the novel strategies being used to prevent economic losses, including invasive pests affecting viticulture. The book contains reviews of the theoretical basis of integrated pest management, multiple chapters on biological control, current status of chemical control, as well as in-depth and well-illustrated reviews of the major arthropod pests affecting grape production and how they are being managed worldwide. This text will serve as a primary resource for applied entomologists, students, growers, and consultants with interests at the intersection of viticulture and applied entomology.
