Research on Chrysomelidae, Volume 2 de Pierre Jolivet

Research on Chrysomelidae, Volume 2: Research on Chrysomelidae, cartea 2

Editat de Pierre Jolivet, Jorge Santiago-Blay, Michael Schmitt
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 dec 2009
There are an estimated 40,000 species of chrysomelids, or leaf beetles, worldwide. These biologically interesting and often colorful organisms, such as the tortoise beetles, have a broad range of life histories and fascinating adaptations. For example, there are chrysomelids with shortened wings (brachypterous) and elytra (brachelytrous), other species are viviparous, and yet other leaf beetles have complicated anti predator-parasitoid defenses. Some species, such as corn rootworms (several species in the genus Diabrotica) constitute major agricultural crop pests. Research on Chrysomelidae 2 is a the second volume of a series of volumes on the Chrysomelidae edited by Jolivet, Santiago-Blay, and Schmitt.

Recenzii

From the preface:
This book can’t help but engage the reader because its focus is the family Chrysomelidae and the editors have put together a fascinating family album.
May Berenbaum, Department of Entomology, University of Illinois

"Contrary to the somewhat dry title of the book, it contains 20 very interesting contributions [of which] the main scientific value is not just in alpha-taxonomy [...] but rather in the fields of ecology and phylogeny."
Translated from: M.A. Jäch, Koleopterologische Rundschau, vol. 79, p.320, July 2009

The publications in this second volume are predominantly of high scientific level. Not only Chrysomelidae-friends will appreciate this book.
Translated from: M.A. Jäch, Koleopterologische Rundschau, vol. 80, p.170, September 2010

The high sales price is worth the information in this book. It should be available at every entomological institute that seriously studies leaf beetles.
Ron Beenen, translated from Entomologische Berichten (2010)
