Book Handbook of Agricultural Entomology

Download or read book Handbook of Agricultural Entomology written by Helmut F. van Emden and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Agricultural Entomology by Helmut van Emden is a landmark publication for students and practitioners of entomology applied to agriculture and horticulture. It can be used as a reference and as a general textbook. The book opens with a general introduction to entomology and includes coverage of the major insects (and mites) that cause harm to crops, livestock and humans. The important beneficial species are also included. Organisms are described in a classification of insect Orders and Families. The emphasis is on morphological characters of major taxonomic divisions, “spot characters” for the recognition of Families, and the life histories, damage symptoms and economic importance of the various pest species. The book is beautifully illustrated in full colour with more than 400 figures showing both the organisms and the damage caused to plants with diagnostic characters indicated by arrows. Coverage is world-wide and includes much material stemming from the vast personal experience of the author.

Book The Royal Entomological Society Book of British Insects

Download or read book The Royal Entomological Society Book of British Insects written by Peter C. Barnard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-19 with total page 1326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Entomological Society (RES) and Wiley-Blackwell are proud to present this landmark publication, celebrating the wonderful diversity of the insects of the British Isles, and the work of the RES (founded 1833). This book is the only modern systematic account of all 558 families of British insects, covering not just the large and familiar groups that are included in popular books, but even the smallest and least known. It is beautifully illustrated throughout in full colour with photographs by experienced wildlife photographers to show the range of diversity, both morphological and behavioural, among the 24,000 species. All of the 6,000 genera of British insects are listed and indexed, along with all the family names and higher groups. There is a summary of the classification, biology and economic importance of each family together with further references for detailed identification. All species currently subject to legal protection in the United Kingdom are also listed. The Royal Entomological Society is one of the oldest and most prestigious of its kind in the world. It is the leading organisation for professional entomologists and its main aim has always been the promotion of knowledge about insects. The RES began its famous Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects in 1949, and new works in that series continue to be published. The Royal Entomological Society Book of British Insects has been produced to demonstrate the on-going commitment of the RES to educate and encourage each generation to study these fascinating creatures. This is a key reference work for serious students of entomology and amateur entomologists, as well as for professionals who need a comprehensive source of information about the insect groups of the British Isles they may be less familiar with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume One of the thoroughly revised and updated guide to the study of biodiversity in insects The second edition of Insect Biodiversity: Science and Society brings together in one comprehensive text contributions from leading scientific experts to assess the influence insects have on humankind and the earth’s fragile ecosystems. Revised and updated, this new edition includes information on the number of substantial changes to entomology and the study of biodiversity. It includes current research on insect groups, classification, regional diversity, and a wide range of concepts and developing methodologies. The authors examine why insect biodiversity matters and how the rapid evolution of insects is affecting us all. This book explores the wide variety of insect species and their evolutionary relationships. Case studies offer assessments on how insect biodiversity can help meet the needs of a rapidly expanding human population, and also examine the consequences that an increased loss of insect species will have on the world. This important text: Explores the rapidly increasing influence on systematics of genomics and next-generation sequencing Includes developments in the use of DNA barcoding in insect systematics and in the broader study of insect biodiversity, including the detection of cryptic species Discusses the advances in information science that influence the increased capability to gather, manipulate, and analyze biodiversity information Comprises scholarly contributions from leading scientists in the field Insect Biodiversity: Science and Society highlights the rapid growth of insect biodiversity research and includes an expanded treatment of the topic that addresses the major insect groups, the zoogeographic regions of biodiversity, and the scope of systematics approaches for handling biodiversity data.

Book Handbook of Agricultural Entomology

Download or read book Handbook of Agricultural Entomology written by Laichattiwar Mukesh Anandrao and published by Delve Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book on Agricultural Entomology is a revolutionary publication for researchers and students entomology. It can be conveniently used as a ready reference and as a broad-spectrum textbook. First five chapters of the book introduce the audience with fundamental concepts of entomology, features of insects, classification of insects and impacts of environmental conditions on insects and vice-versa. Last three chapters of the book deal with plant disease transmission by insects and integrated pest management techniques. Insect pests are causing in a severe economic loss to essential crops globally. However, the control of insect pests has made a key contribution to IPM (integrated pest management) in the world. This book is aimed at presenting the fundamental knowledge about Agricultural Entomology in a simple manner. The text essentially covers the main conceptual paradigms in agricultural entomology which include Economic significance of insects, morphological function and structures, development and growth, behavior and ecology, social insects, feeding habits, beneficial insects, post-harvest losses of grain, classification of insects, integrated pest management (IPM) and practical applications of IPM. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of insects and their impacts on environment and human health. The detailed discussion about different classes of insects and their characteristics is also presented in the book. Pest management techniques are also outlined in the book to provide beneficial information to farmers and land owners. This book is intended for general audience but can be effectively used by readers from agricultural and pest management backgrounds.
