Ground Beetles
What is the ground beetle, and why is it important to its ecosystem? Readers will learn the answers to these questions and more through this information-rich title, which is designed to support elementary science curriculum. Age-appropriate language guides readers through important science concepts, such as understanding this insect’s life cycle, behavior, physical characteristics, and arms readers with the tool to identify ground beetles in nature. Readers will even learn where the ground beetle gets its name! By the end of this title, readers are sure to understand why this insect is special. Fact boxes and colorful photographs help to reinforce important concepts.
Ground Beetles and Their Role in Management of Crop Pests
This book discusses the role of ground beetles as biocontrol agents of different crop pests around the world. The photographs and illustrations of 70 different species of ground beetles are included. The rearing technique section in the book is meant to elaborate the predator rearing conditions, preferred food and the effect of different factors in mortality of different stages (egg, larva, pupa and adult) of ground beetle. In the last part, a comprehensive account on the list of 182 ground beetles along with their prey records, and worldwide distribution of around 457 genus are also included. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Common Ground Beetles
This book introduces the natural history of ground beetles, paying particular attention to their feeding and the mechanical movements of their mouth parts and bodies in relation to diet and behaviour.
Evolutionary Biology of Carabus Ground Beetles
This book presents the whole picture of the ecological and evolutionary study on the ground beetle group, the subgenus Ohomopterus of the genus Carabus, endemic to Japan. This flightless beetle group consists of many geographic races. They show divergence in key traits for reproductive isolation—body size and genital morphology, which leads to coexistence of two or more species. This beetle group provides an important material to study how a lineage of organisms diversify and form multi-species assemblage, and thereby multiply their species richness. The book introduces novel genomic approaches to resolve questions about evolution of Ohomopterus. The readers will find that this story of evolution in Carabus beetles revealed by recent approaches is much different from what was told in previous literature. Exploring different cases across a wide range of lineages is important in constructing a synthetic theory of species radiation and richness, including speciation and species coexistence. This study on Ohomopterus beetles contributes to the ongoing discussion to understand how and why species multiply and how species richness increases in one area of our planet.
