Darsie and published by Gainesville : University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greatly anticipated and sorely needed, this book updates the successful guide to North American mosquitoes published by the American Mosquito Control Association in 1981. It includes 12 new species that have since been added to the North American mosquito fauna, revised distribution maps of all species, and revised and completely illustrated identification keys for the adult females and fourth instar larvae of all 174 species and subspecies known to occur in North America, north of Mexico. In chapters on adult and larval morphology, the coauthors--both world-renowned in their field of taxonomy--discuss the anatomical structures mentioned in the keys and pictured on full-page plates. They provide separate generic keys for adult females and larvae and keys to the species of each genus. In addition, they show the geographical distribution of each taxon in a series of maps and include a synopsis of the occurrence of species in the states and provinces of the United States and Canada. This book's usefulness to mosquito control programs cannot be overestimated. For example, it deals with 9 exotic species that have been introduced and today successfully thrive in North America. Several are increasing their range and this book will help identify these species when they first invade an area. Because of the occurrence of mosquito-borne diseases and the widespread distribution of mosquitoes as pests to humans, professionals must know how to identify them. With its wealth of up-to-date information, this book is the only one of its kind available for specialists working on mosquito-borne diseases and in mosquito control units and for both introductory and advanced students who study entomology.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are now known from the same region 167 species and subspecies in 13 genera and 27 subgenera. The additions and changes in the names of the North American mosquito fauna have been reviewed by Carpenter (91,95,104) and Darsie (140,142). The principal objective of this volume purports to be the revision of the identification keys to adult female and larval stages which incorporate all 167 taxa. Each key is preceded by a detailed description of the morphology of that stage, which is needed to use the key successfully. In addition, each couplet of the two keys is illustrated to assist the user in interpreting the characters employed. A second purpose is to present up-to-date information on the geographical distribution of the mosquito taxa. We are continuing the arrangement used by Carpenter and LaCasse (106), listing the states and provinces from which each taxon has been reported with substantiating references. In addition, we are depicting the distribution on maps; actually the captions of the map plates (Plates 9-49) contain the specific states/provinces in which each taxon is found. Using Carpenter and LaCasse's monograph (106) as a starting point and listing the state/province data given by them, we are adding a total of 574 new state/province records which encompasses the 16 new species described since 1955. Detailed also are 37 instances in which species once reported as occuring in particular states/provinces are deleted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New in paperback Spring 2004, this is an indispensable guide to agaves. The uses of agaves are as many as the arts of man have found it convenient to devise. At least two races of man have invaded Agaveland during the last ten to fifteen thousand years, where, with the help of agaves, they contrived several successive civilizations. The region of greatest use development is Mesoamerica. Here the great genetic diversity in a genus rich in use potential came into the hands of several peoples who developed the main agricultural center of the Americas. Perhaps, as the Aztec legends suggest, it was the animals that first showed man the edibility of agave. Evolution in use ranges all the way from the coincidental and spurious, through tool and food-drink subsistence with mystical overlay, to the practical specialties of modem industry and art. The historic period of agave will be outlined here as briefly as that complicated development will allow.

Book excerpt: “Mosquitoes – Identification, Ecology and Control” presents a wealth of information on the bionomics, systematics, ecology, research techniques and control of both nuisance and disease vector mosquitoes. It provides practical guidance and important information in an easily readable style, suitable for anyone involved with, or interested in mosquitoes and their management. In this new edition, 102 European species including the most important invasive species and more than 100 globally important vector and nuisance species are described. Most of them, including all European species, are presented in the fully illustrated identification keys, followed by a detailed description of the morphology, biology, distribution and medical importance of each species, including over 700 detailed drawings. “Mosquitoes – Identification, Ecology and Control” includes: · systematics and biology · medical significance · research techniques · morphological characteristics used for identification of larvae and adults · illustrated identification keys for larval and adult mosquito genera · morphology, ecology, and distribution of the species identified in the keys · biological, genetic, physical and chemical control of mosquitoes “Mosquitoes – Identification, Ecology and Control” is a valuable tool for vector ecologists, medical entomologists, students and all those involved with mosquito systematics, biology, ecology, and control world-wide. Society as a whole benefit from the implementation of carefully designed and sustainable programs for the management of mosquitoes, and the diseases they transmit. The third edition of this successful publication has been comprehensively updated and expanded, to provide the foundation of a more enlightened and informed approach to mosquito management.
