Tortricidae, Part 2 (Tortricidae, 5/2) (Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland, 5/2)
by J Razowski and E F Hancock ( )
In Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland, volume 5, Part 2 Keith P. Bland offers a comprehensive account of the British members of the moth family TORTRICIDAE sensu lato. For ease of handling, it is divided into two volumes: the Tortricinae & Chlidanotinae, and the Olethreutinae. Each volume is self-contained and indexed separately.
New Taxonomy (Systematics Association Special Volume) (Systematics Association Special Volumes)
Finalist for 2009 The Council on Botanical & Horticultural Libraries Literature Award! A Fresh Look at Taxonomy The most fundamental of all biological sciences, taxonomy underpins any long term strategies for reconstructing the great tree of life or salvaging as much biodiversity as possible. Yet we are still unable to say with any certainty how many species are living on the earth. The New Taxonomy describes how a confluence of theory, cyberinfrastructure, and international teamwork can meet t...

Halacarid mites (Arachnida: Acari) (Synopses of the British Fauna, #36)
This volume presents a collection of 13 essays providing a review of present knowledge, with references to the wider literature. It points to the gaps in knowledge, and indicates the necessity of continuing research in Australian mycology. The essays cover: freshwater fungi; marine fungi; plant parasitic fungi; associations between arthropods and fungi; gut-inhabiting fungi of Australian herbivores; mycoses and macrofungal poisoning of domestic and native animals; fungi as a food resource for ma...
Recent and Fossil Meet Kempf Database Ostracoda (Crustaceana Monographs, #20)
by Finn Viehberg, Renate Matzke-Karasz, Lisa Park Boush, and Alison Smith
The Festschrift Eugen Karl Kempf is a proceedings volume of the 15th International German Ostracodologists' Meeting which was held October 11th to 14th, 2012 by the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of the University of Cologne. The selected contributions cover a broad range of biological and palaeontological topics that rely on sound taxonomy and serve as a tribute to the Kempf Database of Ostracoda including a biography on Eugen Karl Kempf. In detail, the scientific contributions are coverin...
The Semiaquatic Bugs (Hemiptera, Gerromorpha) (Entomonograph, #3)
by Erik Andre Andersen
This volume deals with a multifunctional plasma and tissue protein, fibronectin, which participates in many significant biological and pathophysiological actions, presenting the information concerning structure and describing the interactions of fibronectin with fibrinogen and fibrin.
In Landfill, Tim Dee argues that rubbish tips sustain life and offer an alternative view of how we should treat any species who dares to live so closely among humans. About the book, Tim Dee says: 'I have been a lifelong birdwatcher but more recently I have found myself spending time watching people watching birds. Gulls in Britain are no longer seagulls and I've been fascinated in the last decade by the various ways that these birds have come ashore and come closer to us. In some ways they seem...
Guide to Freshwater Invertebrates (FBA Scientific Publication, #68)
by M. Dobson, S. Pawley, M. Fletcher, and A Powell
Many species of owls are difficult to separate by plumage alone; this problem is compunded by the different morphs they adopt. This book fully describes every known species of owl, as well as presenting the latest evidence on owl taxonomy based on DNA evidence and vocalizations. Because voice is vital in owl identification a great deal of emphasis is placed on it.
A compelling, funny, first-hand account of Australia's wonderfully unique mammals and how our perceptions impact their future. Think of a platypus: they lay eggs (that hatch into so-called platypups), they produce milk without nipples and venom without fangs and they can detect electricity. Or a wombat: their teeth never stop growing, they poo cubes and they defend themselves with reinforced rears. Platypuses, possums, wombats, echidnas, devils, kangaroos, quol...
Plant-Arthropod Interactions in the Early Angiosperm History
by Valentin Krassilov and Alexandr Rasnitsyn
Paleontologists just recently opened their eyes to the wealth of fossil documents relevant to plant – arthropod interaction and are busy now accumulating raw data. Perhaps the richest regional collection of interaction traces came from the mid-Cretaceous deposits of the Negev Desert, Israel, encompassing the time interval of the rise and basal radiation of angiosperms – the flowering plants. The arthropods (insects and mites) inserting their eggs in the leaves and making leaf mines and galls wer...
