Ecosystem Services
Ecosystem services are the conditions and processes through which natural ecosystems, and the species that make them up, sustain, and fulfill human life. The natural environment maintains a genetic library, sustains the processes that preserve and regenerate soil, recycles nutrients, controls floods, filters pollutants, assimilates waste, pollinates crops, operates the hydrological cycle, and maintains the gaseous composition of the atmosphere. Environmental conservation is essential so that the environment can keep providing a multitude of ecosystem services. This book on the fundamental aspects of ecosystem services and conservation of environment will be a useful resource to undergraduate and graduate students, teachers and researchers.
Integrated Pest Management Principles and Applications
Integrated Pest Management Principles and Applications covers all aspects of the alternative and ecological approaches in pest management. It provides a comprehensive account of the fundamental principles of IPM, pest monitoring and forecasting, cultural, physical and mechanical control, biological control, biopesticides, applications of entomopathogenic nematodes, fungi, bacteria and viruses, plant incorporated protectants, botanical pesticides, use of pheromones and other semiochemicals, and also new technologies such as RNA interference in the ecological management of pests through IPM. This book is a useful resource to undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, entomologists, and researchers.
Integrated Pest Management
This textbook presents theory and concepts in integrated pest management, complemented by two award-winning websites covering more practical aspects.
The Book of Indian Butterflies
The Book of Indian Butterflies describes 734 species of butterflies that commonly occur in the Indian subcontinent. Most descriptions are illustrated with color images of specimens from the Bombay Natural History Society's collection as well as with color photographs of butterflies from across the country in their natural habitats. The book also includes color photographs showing the life history of different butterfly groups and their adaptation techniques. Besides highlighting the rich biodiversity of India's butterfly fauna, this book is a highly enjoyable guide for nature lovers. Isaac Kehimkar discusses the biology and identification of butterflies, as well as butterfly watching, photography, and rearing. Written by an expert in the field, The Book of Indian Butterflies is a comprehensive and updated guide to India's butterflies.
Ecosystem Services and Their Conservation
Ecosystem services are the benefits that society receives from ecosystems. Ecosystems provide provisioning services such as food, timber, forage, fuels, medicines, and raw material. They also provide regulatory services such as purification of water and air, mitigation of floods, pollination of crops, and cultural services that meet recreational, aesthetic, and spiritual needs of people. All of these services depend on ecosystem processes that are known as supporting services. These processes include biogeochemical cycles, production of atmospheric oxygen, primary production and pollination. Conservation of natural ecosystems is essential so that humans can continue to benefit from ecosystem services. This book gives a comprehensive account of the various types of ecosystem services and the measures required for their conservation along with helpful illustrations. This book is a useful resource to undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, biologists, environmentalists and researchers.
Environmental Pollution
Environmental pollution is one of the most serious global challenges. Human activities through urbanization, industrialization, mining, and exploration are at the forefront of global environmental pollution. This book examines the various types of pollution, namely air, water, soil, noise, plastic, marine, radioactive, thermal, and pesticide pollution; the causes and effects of pollution; and provides solutions in combating pollution for sustainable environment and health. This book will be a useful resource to undergraduate and graduate students, and teachers.

Butterflies of India
Written by experts in the field, this accessible and richly illustrated book describes more than ninety species of butterflies from all over India. The butterflies described in this book include the rare and beautiful Kaiser-i-Hind, the readily visible Common Gull, the pretty Yellow Pansy, and the world's best known and widely distributed butterfly, the Painted Lady. Easy to read, the Butterflies of India includes an informative introduction that discusses the amazing life cycle of butterflies. It also details the preferred larval food plants of the butterflies that are discussed in the book and carries notes on variations between butterflies, butterfly watching, and butterfly conservation, as well as a glossary. Adding value to the text are numerous illustrations of different species of butterflies and their larvae. Part of the "WWF-OUP Nature Guides" series, Butterflies of India, though designed keeping younger readers in mind, will appeal equally to older readers including parents and teachers, as well as nature lovers.
The Lepidoptera of Europe
The first list to cover the entire European fauna of butterflies and moths since the famous Staudinger-Rebel Catalogue which was published as long ago as in 1901. A large number of European specialists have been working on the family/subfamily treatments, and the list has been checked by leading experts in the national faunas. The higher classification used in the checklist is in accordance with the most recent research as presented in the treatment of Lepidoptera in the series Handbook of Zoology. Hopefully the list will lead to uniformity in the systematics and nomenclature used in European lepidopterology. Besides being a checklist, The Lepidoptera of Europe also indicates in table form, ...
