Interest in Asiatic Blattidae coupled with gradual acquisition of considerable Malayan material led to author Hebard¿s first large contribution toward a better knowledge of the subfamilies, genera, & species to be found there. Early in his Malayan studies (in the 1920s) he found it advisable to make comparisons, particularly with possibly closely related Australian species of the Blattidae. Having a very small representation of Australian Blattidae in the Phila. collections, Hebard undertook considerable exchanges with Australian Museums. Therefore, the present study was almost completed by 1929. It covers only the first two, but much the least well understood, subfamilies & is based on 551 specimens from the collections listed in the study. 14 plates.
This text provides complete coverage of the classification, biology and ecology of Australian orthopteroid insects. It discusses identifying features, collecting techniques, culture methods and preservation techniques. It also includes sounds from over 130 species.
Since John Carter’s and the other children’s last exciting and harrowing journey to Planet Mars, much has happened. Great fortune has been bestowed on their families and their lives have improved greatly. Over in Tenerife, Pedro Armaz is relaxing after the hectic journey and wondering how to make The Wishing Book safe from possible theft. Through a series of unpredictable events Pedro and the children once again find themselves on Planet Mars because of Zelmut’s incessant desire to obtain the book for his own selfish desires – to rule the Universe. However, Pedro has done some forward planning to protect the Wishing Book should something beyond his control happen. When Zelmut finally...
Cockroaches! Even a mere mention of the word causes many people to recoil in horror. However, of the hundreds of species of cockroaches (or blattodeans as they are known) found in Australia, only a small number of them give the group a bad name. Just a few species that are commonly found in homes, restaurants and hospitals are responsible for thousands of dollars in expenditure to comply with health standards. A Guide to the Cockroaches of Australia is a comprehensive account of most of the 550 described species found in Australia. The book reveals their diversity and beauty, it looks in detail at their morphology, habitats and ecology, and explains how to collect and preserve them. Importantly, it will allow pest controllers, students and researchers to reliably identify most of the common pest species as well as the non-pest cockroaches. It will also, perhaps, go some way towards elevating the reputation of these much-maligned insects, and promote further study of them. 2014 Whitley Award Commendation for Field Guide.
The book "The Biotic Associations of Cockroaches" by Louis M. Roth and Edwin R. Willis covers the history of research works on cockroaches, various species of cockroaches, their classifications, ecological relationships, and much more. The authors describe the scientific relationships portrayed by these groups of insects including mutualism, as well as the relation with viruses, bacteria, fungi and yeasts, protozoans, etc. This book gives a detailed view of cockroaches and their unique characteristics and attributes.
