Parasitoid wasps are cosmopolitan, numerous and enormously diverse with probably one million or more species worldwide, most of which occur in the moist tropics. Their ecological importance is enormous although perhaps most evident in their major roles in the control of insect pest populations. In natural ecosystems they are integral in regulating populations of a vast number of insects, and therefore are key players in terrestrial food webs. Knowledge of their biology is still very poor because the current state of taxonomy is still in its infancy in most parts of the world.In this book, we provide an overview of the more than 30 families of parasitoid wasps that occur in the 11 countries i...

Las avispas cazadoras de arañas son una familia de himenópteros (Pompilidae) cuyas hembras cazan exclusivamente arañas para alimentar a su progenie, siendo siempre un huevo por araña paralizada. Hay una notable diversidad de tamaños, desde algunas pequeñas de pocos milímetros hasta las gigantescas Pepsis, cazadoras de tarántulas cuyas hembras pueden sobrepasar los 7 cm de longitud y 13 cm de envergadura de alas. La fauna de Colombia no ha sido objeto de investigación hasta el presente aporte, donde se ofrece una introducción general a la sistématica y biología de la familia, morfología, y claves ilustradas para las subfamilias y géneros en el país. Se presenta una sinopsis de los géneros conocidos para Colombia, con fotografías de hembra y macho, claves para especies (en la mayoría de géneros) y mapas de distribución.

The series of volumes Progress in Surgical Pathology was conceived in an attempt to honor the 70th birthday of Dr. Raffaele Lattes. The original vol umes were the result of an initial call for papers dedicated to progress in the field of surgical pathology with contributors from all over the world. The pa pers published in these volumes have represented examples of classical clin ical pathologic correlations within the discipline of surgical pathology; other papers reflect the work being done at the interface between classical diagnos tic surgical pathology and research in the realm of immunology, molecular biology, cell biology, etc. These papers illustrate what is possible utilizing all of...
