The European Families of the Diptera
Author: Pjotr Oosterbroek
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004278060
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
The European families of the Diptera presents an identification key and family descriptions of all 132 families of Diptera (midges, mosquitoes, gnats, true flies) occurring in Europe. It is written by a well-known Dutch specialist, in collaboration with over 30 European dipterists. For the extensive identification key a new combination of important characters is employed, enabling relatively easy identification of families which are aberrant or traditionally considered difficult to identify. Over 600 line drawings are included to illustrate characters and families. Apart from the key, the book includes an extensive chapter on terminology. Information on systematics and the number of genera and species in Europe, a survey of the main characters, a summary of the biology and of the pertaining identification literature is included for all families. Due to its design and content, the book will be of interest to the lay public and the serious amateur alike.

Hoverflies of Northwest Europe
Author: M.P. van Veen
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004274499
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Hoverflies of the Northwest Europe is an updated edition with revisions to the text. It identifies the hoverflies of Northwest Europe and incorporates the knowledge that has been published in many articles over the past decades. The book covers 500 species - nearly two thirds of the known European syrphid fauna. The main body of the book consists of dichotomous keys to all the hoverfly species found in the region, richly illustrated with drawings that show details as well as whole flies. • What are hoverflies and how are they to distinguish from bees, wasps and other bees • Where are they found? (forests, woodlands, marshes, peatlands and bogs, meadows, grasslands, gardens • When is the best time to find and see hoverflies? • Collecting and preservering specimens • Early stages (eggs and larvae) • How to use this book? • The hoverfly body • Identification keys to the genera and 500 species of Northwest Europe • richly illustrated with drawings that show details as well as whole flies

Chironomidae Larvae, Vol. 1: Tanypodinae
Author: Henk J. Vallenduuk
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004278036
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
General ecology of the Chironomids and identification key to the Tanypodinae To most people midges are a nuisance—annoying creatures that can spoil a quiet evening. However, there are those who study these tiny insects with great passion, including the two authors of this book. Because the European Water Framework Directive requires the authorities to ascertain the presence status of macro-invertebrates in surface waters, their work gained more attention. Chironomids are a group of non-biting midges, the larvae of which are important in aquatic ecosystems. A major subfamily of this group are the Tanypodinae. The larvae of most of the species are free-swimming or crawling predators while those of other species burrow in the mud on the bottom. Since they inhabit a variety of habitats they can be found in almost all surface waters in the Netherlands. The authors revised existing identification keys and collected additional information on the biology and ecology of the larvae. Where possible, the identification keys use anatomical characters that are easily observed. The clear descriptions of the development stages, sampling methods and abiotic environmental factors help make this book useful for all students of chironomid larvae, professional or otherwise. This book is especially important for its potential use in water quality management.

Economy and Ecology of Heathlands
Author: W. Herbert Diemont
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004277943
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
Heathlands in Europe reflect a long history of human activity and use. Through the ages heathlands have been of importance as (semi)agricultural areas, hunting territories and various other uses of mankind. This diversity of use has created a cultural diversity over the whole Atlantic area of Europe, from Portugal and Spain in the south to Norway in the north and from Germany in the east to Ireland in the west. Economy and Ecology of Heathlands shows us both the diversity in use all over Europe and combines this information with the newest insights in ecology and the Natura 2000 status most of these heathlands have got nowadays. Central theme is how to cover the costs of maintenance of these heathlands. Is their future in new types of commons, or do other types of land ownership, using the revenues of heathland ecosystem services, give better opportunities? The editors combine a broad variance in knowledge of heathlands varying from all aspects of ecology, land use, as well as economy.
