Description: Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Collembola by Charles W. Heckman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The original goal was to include all genera known from South America and all species from Brazil, but for most groups, the scope was expanded to encompass all species in South America, and, in many cases, to include terrestrial species of orders that include both terrestrial and aquatic taxa. Publisher Description This book is the first in a series designed to facilitate identification of South American insects likely to be encountered in, on, or near water, on wetlands, and in unusual aquatic habitats, such as bromelias, pitcher plants, and mosses. In the case of some taxa encompassing both aquatic and terrestrial species, it is expanded to permit identification of all species, regardless of habitat. The Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects begins with a short general introduction. The scope for the first volume is the Collembola. It includes all species known from South America by the end of the 1990s and permits a state-of-the-art identification to species. In the case of specimens belonging to undescribed species or those not previously reported from South America, it permits identification to genus or family and gives the reader reasonable certainty that his specimen does not belong to the known fauna of the continent. The keys are richly illustrated to permit non-specialists in the group to reliabily identify specimens. Taxonomic revisions are intentionally avoided, but doubtful taxa are so designated in the key.Already published within this encyclopedia: Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Collembola ISBN: 0-7923-6704-9 Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Ephemeroptera ISBN: 1-4020-0775-2 Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Plecoptera ISBN: 1-4020-1520-8Forthcoming book titles: Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Odonata Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Orthoptera Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Heteroptera Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Neuroptera, including Megaloptera Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Trichoptera Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Lepidoptera Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Coleoptera Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Diptera Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects: Hymenoptera Author Biography The author, Dr. Charles W.
