This monumental reference work treats an entire worldwide order of insects. It summarizes, from both a biological and sytematic perspective, current knowledge on the Heteroptera, or true bugs, a group containing approximately 35,000 species, many of which are important to agriculture and public health. To introduce the reader to this group, Randall T. Schuh and James A. Slater offer chapters on the history of the study of the Heteroptera, research techniques, and sources of specimens. They also cover attributes of general biological interest, including habitats, habits, mimicry, and wing polymorphism; selected taxa of economic importance; and basic morphology.Presenting a current classification of the Heteroptera, the authors synthesize to the subfamily and sometimes tribal level the enormous, scattered literature, including diagnoses, keys, general natural history, a summary of distributions, and a listing of important faunistic works. In addition to a wealth of detailed illustrations, they provide a glossary to help the reader deal with the confusing terminology that has evolved over the years, as well as an extensive bibliography of more than 1350 entries.Meticulously prepared by two of the world's leading specialists, this major work will be the standard reference on the Heteroptera for many years to come.
The most comprehensive guide to insects in the Great Lakes region
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.
