Encyclopedia of Entomology
This text brings together fundamental information on insect taxa, morphology, ecology, behavior, physiology, and genetics. Close relatives of insects, such as spiders and mites, are included.
Manual of Central American Diptera
While volume 1 includes several introductory chapters and treats 42 families of flies in the Lower Diptera, volume 2 covers the remaining 64 families of flies that make up the Higher Diptera (or Cyclorrhapha). These include families of house flies, fruit flies, bot flies, flower flies and many other lesser-known groups. The text is accompanies by over 1660 line drawings and photographs.
Süßwasserfauna von Mitteleuropa, Bd. 21/10+11: Insecta: Diptera: Chaoboridae u. Thaumaleidae
Dieser Band behandelt die Büschelmücken und Dunkelmücken aus der umfangreichen weiteren Verwandtschaft der Stechmücken. Beide sind mit allen Arten an Gewässer gebunden; Erwachsene beider Familien nehmen keine Nahrung auf; sonst aber sind sie in ihrer Lebensweise sehr verschieden. Die kurzlebigen Büschelmücken (Chaoboridae) bilden an stehenden Gewässern große Schwärme, alle Jugendstadien der wenigen Arten leben auf oder im freien Wasser. Die räuberischen, durchsichtigen planktischen Larven weichen durch Vertikalwanderungen räuberischen Fischen aus; andererseits löst die Gegenwart von Chaoboriden bei deren Beutetieren ebenfalls diverse Vermeidungsreaktionen oder feindabwehrenden Gestaltwandel aus. Dagegen leben Dunkelmücken (Thaumaleidae) ausschließlich an Fließgewässern, ihre Lebensweise ist kaum bekannt. Die Larven sind Weidegänger in dünnen Wasserfilmen auf Hartsubstraten am Gewässerrand, die Puppen liegen an Land. Die Familie ist in Europa artenreich, aber bisher wenig beachtet worden; sie wird hier taxonomisch grundlegend revidiert.
Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment
This book offers a comprehensive study of species- and genus-level diversity and chorology of the global freshwater fauna to date. It gives a state of the art assessment of the diversity and distribution of Metazoa in the continental waters of the world.
Land of Extremes
This book is a comprehensive guide to the natural history of the North Slope, the only arctic tundra in the United States. The first section provides detailed information on climate, geology, landforms, and ecology. The second provides a guide to the identification and natural history of the common animals and plants and a primer on the human prehistory of the region from the Pleistocene through the mid-twentieth century. The appendix provides the framework for a tour of the natural history features along the Dalton Highway, a road connecting the crest of the Brooks Range with Prudhoe Bay and the Arctic Ocean, and includes mile markers where travelers may safely pull off to view geologic formations, plants, birds, mammals, and fish. Featuring hundreds of illustrations that support the clear, authoritative text, Land of Extremes reveals the arctic tundra as an ecosystem teeming with life.
The Historical Development of Diptera
Fossil remains found in Upper Triassic and Lower and Middle Jurassic deposits at Issykkul and Karatau in Central Asia are described for the first time, complete with lists, keys and detailed notes on wing venation, in this first English-language edition of an established Russian work.
