Based on collections from 1962 to present of nearly 11,000 specimens, this publication is a complete taxonomic treatment of the 10 genera and 54 species of water boatmen (Heteroptera: Corixidae) recorded from Minnesota. Intended as an identification guide, this work will be of great use to taxonomists, ecological workers, and bio-monitoring personnel, as it contains notes on the biology, distributions, and habitat associations of all species of Minnesota Corixidae.This publication is heavily illustrated and includes keys to adults of all genera and species of Minnesota Corixidae, as well as distribution maps and biological notes. Also included is a color atlas of digital photographs for both sexes of all Minnesota species, which will greatly aid in identification.
A comprehensive treatise on thrips as crop pests set against a background covering basic biology, ecology, applied science and pest control.
This is the first single book to cover the whole of the fossil history of insects so comprehensively. The volume embraces subjects from the history of insect palaeontology to the diagnostic features of all insect orders, both extant and extinct.
Immature Insects, Volumes 1 and 2, edited by Frederick W. Stehr, are excellent sources of information on the biology and ecology of insect families, making these indispensible textbooks. With abundant illustrations, descriptions, and keys, both volumes are also useful as field guides in identifying many common, economically important, or unusual species. Immature Insects is the only reference that extensively details information necessary to identify immature insects. These books explain the techniques for collecting, rearing, killing, preserving, storing, studying, and shipping insects. Well-illustrated keys are provided for all orders and families.
Thrips (fhysanoptera) are very small insects, widespread throughout the world with a preponderance of tropical species, many temperate ones, and even a few living in arctic regions. Of the approximately 5,000 species so far identified, only a few hundred are crop pests, causing serious damage or transmitting diseases to growing crops and harvestable produce in most countries. Their fringed wings confer a natural ability to disperse widely, blown by the wind. Their minute size and cryptic behavior make them difficult to detect either in the field or in fresh vegetation transported during international trade of vegetables, fruit and ornamental flowers. Many species have now spread from their original natural habitats and hosts to favorable new environments where they often reproduce rapidly to develop intense damaging infestations that are costly to control. Over the past decade there have been several spectacular examples of this. The western flower thrips has expanded its range from the North American continent to Europe, Australia and South Africa. Thrips palmi has spread from its presumed origin, the island of Sumatra, to the coast of Florida, and threatens to extend its distribution throughout North and South America. Pear thrips, a known orchard pest of Europe and the western United States and Canada has recently become a major defoliator of hardwood trees in Vermont and the neighboring states. Local outbreaks of other species are also becoming problems in field and glasshouse crops as the effectiveness of insecticides against them decline.
