Book SynopsisWith loss of habitats throughout the world occurring at a staggering rate, it is critical to document what is being lost. This book strives to do that by focusing on longhorned woodboring beetles in Bolivia. Wholesale clearing of large tracts of land kills everything or forces species to move quickly to other areas, disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. This book will help people discover and appreciate some of the amazing diversity of life that exists in the undeveloped and/or remote natural areas of Bolivia. Nearly 1,900 species of longhorned woodboring beetles (Disteniidae, Vesperidae, and Cerambycidae) are known from Bolivia (with more than 200 species yet to be determined). This work features 500 of them, representing the breadth of morphological evolution.

Actes Sud Ground Noise
Book SynopsisIn electrical and electronic systems, a ground noise is a sound interference, a stray noise considered as disturbance. Like a flying insect trapped in a lamp, it is a continuous rustle, a vibration that seeks to escape. Its presence is considered annoying, therefore one usually seeks to get rid of it. Insects and arthropods trigger atavistic reactions in us. Even dead and pinned under glass, a spider will be able to frighten, even for a moment, an adult human being. Admittedly, we have somehow tamed our fears towards them, through admiration (“the incredible work of ants”, “the beauty of butterflies”) or recognition (“the bees, our so useful nurturers”), but this teeming fauna remains nonetheless mysterious, obscure, even unsettling. This work is extended by a conversation between Céline Clanet and eco-acoustician Jérôme Sueur, a specialist of the “melody of insects”.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Perspectives in Meiobenthology: Reviews,
Book SynopsisAlthough of high abundance, diversity and ecological importance, meiofauna is little covered by relevant scientific media. How can this negligence be overcome? The present treatise highlights promising meiofauna research fields, selected both from basic and applied science, as well as new methods that could strengthen the potential of meiobenthology. Selected recent meiofauna studies, often supported by rapidly advancing gene-based methods, underline the relevance and potential of meiobenthology revealing characteristics and harassments of ecosystems, not the least in extreme habitats. Also in the more classical domains such as taxonomy and phylogeny, progress in meiobenthos research defines a new and deeper scientific understanding.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: Fields of general relevance and broad public interest a. New areas, novel communities, exotic biotopes b. The deep-sea c. Newly accessible polar regions Chapter 2: Pollution and Meiofauna a. Oil spills at the deep-sea bottom b. Petroleum hydrocarbons in ground water aquifers c. Water acidification and CO2-increase d. Microplastics and plastic fibres Chapter 3: Future ecological trends in meiobenthos research a. Aspects of biodiversity b. Principles of distribution, dispersal, and colonization c. Organismic interactions – meiofauna between microbiota and macrofauna Chapter 4: Physiology, biochemistry and meiofauna – a rarely touched realm a. Hypoxia, anoxia and hydrogen sulfide – fields of physiological challenge b. Temperature – a physiological driver c. Fatty acids as biomarkers d. Physiological reactions revealed by genetic analyses Chapter 5: Towards and integrated triad – taxonomy, morphology, and phylogeny a. Advances in the methodological basis b. New trends reviving ‘old morphology’ c. Phylogeny and evolution – meiofauna at the beginning Epilogue

De Gruyter Morphology and Systematics: Phytophaga
Book SynopsisThis book is the third volume in the Handbook of Zoology series which treats the systematics and biology of Coleoptera. With approximately 350,000 described species, Coleoptera are by far the most species-rich order of insects and the largest group of animals of comparable geological age. This third Coleoptera volume completes the Morphology and Systematics volumes with 43 chapters and covers one of the largest radiations of beetles, the mainly plant-feeding Phytophaga, with information on world distribution, biology, morphology of all life stages (including anatomy), phylogeny and comments on taxonomy.Trade Review"This volume is certainly a milestone in weevil systematics and will be so for a long time."Rolf Oberprieler, CSIRO Australia

Book SynopsisDiese 3. Auflage des 1. Teils der „Speziellen Zoologie“ wird weiterhin das maßgebende Lehrbuch der Systematischen Zoologie für Studierende der Biowissenschaften sein. Während die Systematisierung der eukaryotischen Einzeller umfangreiche Umstellungen erforderlich gemacht hat, erreicht die Großgliederung der Metazoa einen hohen Grad an Verlässlichkeit. Die wichtigsten Neuerungen sind die Auftrennung der Protostomia in die Spiralia (=Lophotrochozoa) und Ecdysozoa, die Herausnahme der Acoelomorpha aus den Plathelminthes und ihre Zusammenführung mit Xenoturbella als Xenacoelomorpha sowie die Auflösung der Articulata in Anneliden und Arthropoden mit der Neukonzeptierung der Annelida u.a. durch die Aufnahme auch der unsegmentierten Sipuncula. Auch alle übrigen Kapitel erhielten eine Überarbeitung durch ihre bisherigen Autoren bzw. durch neue Koautoren. Das Abbildungsmaterial wurde verbessert oder ergänzt, darunter die für dieses Lehrbuch charakteristischen Stammbaumschemata.Table of ContentsVorwort.- Wichtige Begriffe der phylogenetischen Systematik.- Bedeutung lateinisch/griechischer Wortelemente.- „EINZELLIGE EUKARYOTA“, Einzeller.- METAZOA.- I Parazoa.- II Placozoa.- III Eumetazoa.- IV Bilateria.- V Protostomia.- VI Deuterostomia.- Metazoa incertae sedis.

Book SynopsisFamed for its industriousness and its urge to conquer, this race practises farming and uses chemical weapons. Humans? No, ants! Joachim Offenberg, a myrmecophile researcher at Aarhus University, shares fascinating facts about these tiny creatures so stealthy and stalwart they even endured a ruthless onslaught from his Uncle Preben, who thinks these cannibals, slave drivers and infiltrators of our homes and gardens deserve no better. But why not domesticate ants and join forces with one fourth of the planet s animal biomass? Prepare to befriend a formidable foe.
