Springer International Publishing AG Biology of Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae): Life
Book SynopsisRove beetles (Staphylinidae) are common elements of the soil biota, living in the litter and deeper soil layers. Although they are one of the most diverse and speciose groups of insects, no comprehensive books on their general evolution and ecology are as yet available. This book fills that gap, discussing significant aspects and active research examples in the fields of phylogeny and systematics, ecology and conservation, and reproduction and development. The combination of review chapters and case studies provides an excellent introduction to the biology of rove beetles and enables readers to become familiar with active research fields in this megadiverse group of beetles. Offering easy access to these fields, it also demonstrates how staphylinids are used as bioindicators in applied ecosystem research, including that concerning conservation issues. Experienced scientists and beginners alike find the diversity of subjects covered intriguing and inspiring for continuing and starting their own research. The book is intended for students and researchers in biology and zoology (entomology), including morphologists, ecologists, soil scientists, evolutionary biologists, paleontologists, biogeographers, taxonomists and systematists.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Phylogeny of the family Staphylinidae.- A review of the fossil history of Staphylinoidea.- Biodiversity and geographic patterns of Neotropical Staphylinidae.- Adventive species of rove beetles in Canada.- Effect of environmental conditions on distribution patterns.- A review of Nearctic rove beetles (Staphylinidae) specialized on the burrows and nests of vertebrates.- Rove beetles as bioindicators in agroecosystems.- Parasites of Staphylinidae.- The biology of Steninae.- Biology of acarophagous Scydmeninae.- The evolution of genitalia, spermatophores.- Morphology of the endophallic flagellum.- Morphological diversity of immature Scydmaeninae.

Springer International Publishing AG Hard Ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae)
Book SynopsisTicks of the family Ixodidae, commonly known as hard ticks, occur worldwide and are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of agents pathogenic to humans. Of the 729 currently recognized hard tick species, 283 (39%) have been implicated as human parasites, but the literature on these species is both immense and scattered, with the result that health professionals are often unable to determine whether a particular tick specimen, once identified, represents a species that is an actual or potential threat to its human host. In this book, two leading tick specialists provide a list of the species of Ixodidae that have been reported to feed on humans, with emphasis on their geographical distribution, principal hosts, and the tick life history stages associated with human parasitism. Also included is a discussion of 21 ixodid species that, while having been found on humans, are either not known to have actually fed or may have been misidentified. Additionally, 107 tick names that have appeared in papers on tick parasitism of humans, and that might easily confuse non-taxonomists, are shown to be invalid under the rules of zoological nomenclature. Although the species of ticks that attack humans have long attracted the attention of researchers, few comprehensive studies of these species have been attempted. By gleaning and analyzing the results of over 1,100 scientific papers published worldwide, the authors have provided an invaluable survey of hard tick parasitism that is unprecedented in its scope and detail.Table of ContentsACKNOWLEDGEMENTS INTRODUCTION METHODOLOGY CHAPTER 1 – TICK SPECIES FOUND FEEDING ON HUMANS CHAPTER 2 – TICK SPECIES WRONGLY CONSIDERED PARASITES OF HUMANS CHAPTER 3 – INVALID SPECIES RECORDED FROM HUMANS (synonyms, incertae sedis, nomina dubia, nomina nuda) COMMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS REFERENCES

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.

Brill The Greenland Entomofauna: An Identification
Book SynopsisIn The Greenland Entomofauna an international team of 64 taxonomic specialists provide for the first time a richly illustrated guide to the identification of the ≈1200 species of Hexapods/Insects, Arachnids and Myriapods so far known to occur in the country. While the composition, origin and adaptations of the Greenland fauna has always been a challenge to biogeographers and ecologists/ecophysiologists, the provision of a tool for detailed identification of its constituent species is now particularly timely, since global climate change will expectedly have a particularly noticeable impact on biota at high latitudes. This obviously renders the feasibility of monitoring distributional range shifts of the principal components of this biota a matter of some urgency.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Methuselah Flies: A Case Study In The Evolution
Book SynopsisMethuselah Flies presents a trailblazing project on the biology of aging. It describes research on the first organisms to have their lifespan increased, and their aging slowed, by hereditary manipulation. These organisms are fruit flies from the species Drosophila melanogaster, the great workhorse of genetics. Michael Rose and his colleagues have been able to double the lifespan of these insects, and improved their health in numerous respects as well. The study of these flies with postponed aging is one of the best means we have of understanding, and ultimately achieving, the postponement of aging in humans. As such, the carefully presented detail of this book will be of value to research devoted to the understanding and control of aging.Methuselah Flies:• is a tightly edited distillation of twenty years of work by many scientists• contains the original publications regarding the longer-lived fruit flies• offers commentaries on each of the topics covered — new, short essays that put the individual research papers in a wider context• gives full access to the original data • captures the scientific significance of postponed aging for a wide academic audienceTable of ContentsCreation and Long-Term Evolution of Methuselah Flies; Stress Resistance, Physiology, and Aging; Reproduction, Nutrition, and Aging; Genetics and Molecular Biology of Methuselah Flies; Reverse Evolution of Methuselah Flies; Aging, Development, and Crowding.
