Forest Insects in Europe by Beat Wermelinger Pdf

CHOICE Highly Recommended title, 2022! Forest insects play important roles ecologically and economically. They pollinate plants, decompose dead plant and animal tissue, provide food for vertebrates, regulate pest organisms and shape entire landscapes. Some are considered pests, while others provide usable products. Introduced species may become invasive, while the survival of others is threatened. Forest Insects in Europe: Diversity, Functions and Importance has been written not only with professional entomologists in mind, but also for nature lovers generally. The descriptions of the various roles insects play in forest ecosystems are intended to be easily comprehensible, but still scientific. The book is richly illustrated with attractive photos and contains 580 fascinating colour images of more than 300 different insect and spider species. The German edition was awarded the Prix Moulines by the Swiss Entomological Society in 2019.

Invasive Forest Insects, Introduced Forest Trees, and Altered Ecosystems by Timothy D. Paine Pdf

Demand for timber and fibre continues to grow and is being met by increased reliance on plantation forestry. Many of the plantations that are being grown around the globe are non-native species that have characteristics of rapid growth and good commercial qualities. In some cases, the high rates of production are a result of the absence of native herbivore and diseases. This limited pest status is threatened as pest species move around the globe. At the same time there is concern about threats of these non-native plantation species on native communities and the impact of changing climates on forest productivity. This volume explores many of these issues for the first time.

Forest Entomology by William Ciesla Pdf

Insects are the most abundant and diverse organisms that inhabit our planet and are found in all the world’s forest ecosystems. Many feed and/or breed on parts of trees. Some perform important functions, such as pollination or break-down of dead vegetation. Others weaken, deform or kill trees, and compete with humans for the many goods and services that trees and forests provide. Forest Entomology: A Global Perspective examines forest insects in a global context and reviews their dynamics, interactions with humans and methods for monitoring and management of species that damage forests. Also provided are 235 profiles of forest insects, worldwide. A series of tables provides summaries of the distribution and hosts of many more species. Included are those that damage forests, others that are simply curiosities and some that are beneficial. This book is designed as a reference for students, practicing foresters and forest health specialists, especially for those who work internationally or are concerned with species that have the potential to expand their ranges via international trade, travel or environmental changes.

Bark and Wood Boring Insects in Living Trees in Europe, a Synthesis by François Lieutier,Keith R. Day,Andrea Battisti,Jean-Claude Grégoire,Hugh F. Evans Pdf

For the first time, a synthesis on the research work done in Europe on all Bark And Wood Boring Insects In Living Trees (BAWBILT) is presented. As final product of a four-year research project gathering together 100 scientists from 24 countries, the book is the fruit of a real collective synthesis in which all European specialists have participated. It reviews and comments on all the European literature, while considering the biological (trees, insects, associated organisms, and their relationships) and forest management aspects. However, although focused on the European forest, it also compares the available information and interpretations to those concerning similar species in other continents. It ends with propositions of research priorities for Europe. The book is directed to all scientists and students concerned with forest entomology and ecology, as well as to forest managers and all scientific public interested in forest biology.

Forests and Insects by Allan D. Watt,Nigel E. Stork,Mark D. Hunter Pdf

This book covers the full breadth of forest entomology. It combines the work of forest entomologists working on the impact and management of forest pests with those involved in diversity assessment and conservation of insects in forests. Forests and Insects demonstrates that both these disciplines demand an understanding of population and community biology. The book covers such topics as colonization of trees by insects, population dynamics of forest insects, insect natural enemies, the effects of climate change and pollution on forest pests, spatial variation in the abundance of insects,the mineralization of carbon by termites, the impact of herbivorous insects, and the conservation of forest insect diversity, including the effects of forest fragmentation and deforestation. This Royal Entomological Society Symposium volume will be of great interest to all agricultural and forest entomologists, population and community biologists, pest management specialists and anyone concerned with the conservation of forest biodiversity.

Foresters, Borders, and Bark Beetles by Eunice Blavascunas Pdf

"In Europe's last primeval forest, at Poland's easternmost border with Belarus, the deep past of ancient oaks, woodland bison, and thousands of species of insects and fungi collides with authoritarian and communist histories. Foresters, biologists, environmentalists, and locals project the ancient Bia±owieçza Forest as a series of competing icons in struggles over memory, land, and economy, which are also struggles about whether to log or preserve the woodland; whether and how to celebrate the mixed ethnic Polish/Belarusian peasant past; and whether to align this eastern outpost with ultraright Polish political parties, neighboring Belarus, or the European Union. Eunice Blavascunas provides an intimate ethnographic account, gathered in more than 20 years of research, to untangle complex forest conflicts between protection and use. She looks at which pasts are celebrated, which fester, and which are altered in the tumultuous decades following the collapse of communism. Foresters, Borders, and Bark Beetles is a timely and fascinating work of cultural analysis and storytelling that textures its ethnographic reading of people with the agency of the forest itself and its bark beetle outbreaks, which threaten to alter the very composition of the forest in the age of the Anthropocene"--

Atlas of Insects Beneficial to Forest Trees by Bohumil Starý Pdf

At the present time, the position of modern integrated protection of forests menaced by pests is increasing in importance, and not just because of demands on the quality and quantity of wood being raised. It is steadily becoming more necessary to revise the consequences of the often imprudent, although sometimes seemingly effective, chemical control in forest biocoenosis. Additionally, harmful insects are becoming more resistant to pesticides and so increasing the chance of accidentally jeopardizing plants. In the future concept of integrated forest pest control, we may therefore expect the population density of many harmful species to be regulated to a larger degree by biological control. This book discusses the economic importance of insects beneficial to the protection of forest trees, and provides information on their biology. The text and the pictorial section to this book divide beneficial insects into predators and parasites. The first section is devoted to predators, particularly ants, the most frequent insect species found in forests. Scale bugs, groups of predatory beetles, Neuroptera and Diptera are also mentioned. The second part describes parasitic insects. For this reason, representatives of the order Hymenoptera are mentioned twice: in the first section, among predators (ants) and, in the second part, among the parasites (ichneumons, braconids, chalcid-flies and Aphidiids). Similarly, Diptera are listed in the first section under predatory species (robber flies and lonchaeids) and then at the end of the text under parasitic species (tachinid-flies). An index of scientific names of the illustrated species and a short terminology complete the book. The book is intended as a text book for forestry and agricultural schools, and as a reference text for those concerned with the biological protection of forests, i.e. forest researchers, entomologists and biologists.
