Gordh Gordon: Insect Morphology

Insect Morphology

Evolutionary Approach

In the last decade or so, a large number of new spider species have been discovered and described, and many genera and families have been revised. Yet, a single comprehensive resource has been lacking to update spider taxonomy. Spider Systematics and Taxonomy aims to present these major developments in the field, as well as to show how technological advancements have driven these changes. Spider groups covered in most detail are those which have recently seen the most significant discoveries and changes. Later chapters highlight the impact of recent technological developments on our knowledge of spider taxonomy, with topics including phylogenomics, artificial intelligence, and novel imaging technologies. Finally, an outlook on future priorities for spider taxonomy research as well as expected developments will be explored. Spider Systematics and Taxonomy is a valuable reference with illustrations and vivid photographs included throughout to showcase spider diversity and relationships. This will serve as a key resource for arachnology researchers, graduate and postgraduate students wishing to come up to date on the latest advances in the field. Researchers in adjacent fields and those working in taxonomy generally will also benefit from this work.

Princeton Field Guides

An authoritative, stunningly illustrated guide to every species of social wasp found in North America, Central America, and the CaribbeanSocial wasps like hornets and yellowjackets use the power of teamwork to build complex societies and architectural wonders, and though they comprise only a fraction of the thousands of species in North and Central America, they are almost solely responsible for giving wasps a bad reputation. This beautifully illustrated field guide covers all known species of social wasps from the high arctic of Greenland and Alaska to the tropical forests of Panama and Grenada. Ideal for beginners, experts, and everyone in-between, The Social Wasps of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean is the ultimate guide to these beneficial yet misunderstood insects. Features more than 900 full-color illustrations, more than 300 maps, and dozens of photosCovers more than 200 species, including dozens of regional color formsShows detailed face and body patterns of queens, males, and workersDetailed species accounts describe key identification features, size, nests, and habitatDiscusses everything from ecology, evolution, and taxonomy to anatomy, life cycle, behavior, nest architecture, conservation, and the critical roles wasps play in the environmentShares tips and tricks for identification and to avoiding painful stingsIncludes an extensive glossary and references

The Calliphoridae of Forensic Significance offers a focused and in-depth discussion on the biology, ecology, and behavior of blow flies relevant to medico-legal entomology in North America. Moving from introductory information to advanced applications, this book covers recent developments, current challenges, and research needs for the calliphorids most relevant to forensic entomology and how these topics can influence the use of these insects in the court of law. The book will be useful for students enrolled in forensic entomology, biological forensics, forensic anthropology, and related course work, as well as attorneys and law enforcement that utilize entomological evidence in casework.

Monographs in Behavior and Ecology

From the acclaimed author of Honeybee Democracy, a classic account of the ecological factors that shape the social lives of honeybees For many years, research on honeybee social life dealt primarily with the physiological processes underlying the social system of the bee rather than the ecological factors that have shaped its societies. Thomas Seeley’s landmark book unites the two approaches, emphasizing ecological studies of honeybee social behavior while also offering fresh perspectives on honeybee behavior and communication. It covers a broad range of topics, from adaptiveness of worker sterility and the economics of nest construction to information-center foraging, individual versus colony level selection, sex ratio evolution, colonial thermoregulation, evolution of colony defense, and adaptive radiation in colony design. Honeybee Ecology presents honeybees as a model system for investigating advanced social life among insects from an evolutionary perspective.

The book presents honeybees as a model system for investigating advanced social life among insects from an evolutionary perspective. Originally published in 1985. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Pre

"In Rise of the Zombie Bugs, Mindy Weisberger explores the eerie yet fascinating phenomenon of real-life zombification in the insect class and among other invertebrates. Zombifying parasites reproduce by rewriting their victims' neurochemistry, transforming them into the "walking dead:" armies of cicadas, spiders, and other hosts that helplessly follow a zombifier's commands, living only to serve the parasite's needs until death's sweet release (and often beyond)"

Colour the beautiful and mind-bending art from Peter Kuper's epic graphic work&nbsp;Insectopolis. When lockdown arrived in 2020, Kuper was a Cullman Centre Fellow at the New York Public Library, where he was studying insects. Virtually alone in the empty library, he visualised the insects surging through the apocalyptic, deserted halls of the historic building. This inspired the whimsical world of&nbsp;Insectopolis, where monarchs fly through the library, dragonflies explore marble staircases, and worker bees peruse museum exhibits. Now all these scenes and more are available as colouring pages in&nbsp;Coloring Insectopolis, so readers can make Kuper's world come alive. Kuper's recognisable style can be seen in his cartoons that regularly appear in&nbsp;The New Yorker,&nbsp;Nation, and&nbsp;New York Times. Full of his signature creativity,&nbsp;Coloring Insectopolis&nbsp;is a new way for readers to interact with Kuper's inventive artwork and give each image their own colourful twist.
