Asiatic-Pacific Ticks: Species of Medical and Veterinary Importance is the definitive resource on the taxonomy, biology, and bionomics of tick species native to the Palearctic and Oriental regions. This comprehensive book, authored and edited by leading experts, delves into the identification, biology, and ecological roles of 12 primary tick species, including the Asian longhorned tick and those in the Hyalomma genus. It provides a global perspective as these species expand beyond their native habitats, making it indispensable for entomologists, public health personnel, and parasitologists. The book begins by exploring the classification history and identification of each species' active life stages. Detailed sections follow, discussing the biology, bionomics, and pathogenic agents associated with each tick species, emphasizing their relevance to human and animal health. This valuable resource is essential for those tracking diseases in tick populations and understanding the ecological impact of these medically and veterinary significant species.

Aedes aegypti: Ecology, Population Control, and Vector-borne Disease Prevention offers a comprehensive exploration of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a notorious vector responsible for transmitting diseases such as dengue, Zika, and yellow fever. From its biology and ecological behavior to its microbiota and role in global health crises, the book delves deeply into the intricacies of this species. It stands as a valuable resource for researchers, public health officials, and anyone interested in understanding the challenges posed by this resilient mosquito and the innovative measures employed to mitigate its impact on human health. In addition to extensively discussing the mosquito’s role as a vector, the book emphasizes cutting-edge population control strategies, including genetic modifications, microbial interventions, and community-based efforts. It also addresses the global scale of vector-borne diseases, providing actionable insights into prevention methods, surveillance systems, and the urgent need for interdisciplinary collaboration.

In the quest for sustainable food solutions alternative to traditional proteins, insects are emerging as a compelling option. Insect Proteins as Sustainable Food Ingredients: Nutrition, Processing and Consumer Acceptance, explores the nutritional composition of various insect species from around the world such as the black soldier fly, cricket, mealworm and silkworm, and sheds light on their high protein, low-carbon, low emission, sustainable environmental benefits while providing insight into nutrition and health. With consumers more likely to eat processed insect products rather than whole body insects, "Insect Proteins as Sustainable Food Ingredients: Nutrition, Processing and Consumer Acceptance, examines insect protein extract as a raw materials and how it can significantly reduce consumers’ negative perception of insects as a food source. Experts in the filed introduce readers to the production and processing of insect protein flours, concentrates, isolates and hydrolysates and highlight the defatting, grinding, purification, drying and extraction technologies for insect proteins to be used for product innovation. Also addressed are flavor and sensory properties and ways to measure consumer acceptance of insect-based products. The book concludes by reviewing potential safety and allergy concerns and provides suggestions on how to establish a food safety regulatory framework.

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.

Natural enemies of insects, consisting of predators, parasitoids, and pathogens, have attracted the attention of scientists and industry experts across the globe. Their unusual behaviors from parasitism to cannibalism, exemplifiy a variety of biological behaviors and processes occuring within a balanced, yet complex ecosystem. They are ecofriendly and safe alternatives to pesticides, yet still act as effective checks to pest populations. Behavior of Insect Natural Enemies: Ecology and Applications in Biological Control provides a comprehensive guide to the mating, oviposition, predation, parasitism, competition, and foraging behavior of insect natural enemies. A thorough understanding of these behaviors is essential for the development of novel, effective biological control strategies. With contributions from leading experts in the field, Behavior of Insect Natural Enemies is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in the fascinating world of insect behavior. Researchers in academia and industry can build upon the knowledge in this resource to investigate and develop novel biocontrol methods. Students, particularly graduate and post-graduate, as well as lecturers in the fields of entomology, parasitology, zoology and plant protection will also benefit from this fascinating reference.
