Geometroid Caterpillars of Northeastern and Appalachian Forests (Classic Reprint) by David L. Wagner Pdf
Excerpt from Geometroid Caterpillars of Northeastern and Appalachian Forests Caterpillars have long been a favorite among children - each year tens of thousands of these insects are brought into classrooms and nature centers, or are carried home to parents. With this in mind, we designed this publication so that it would be understandable and useful to educators, students, and the general public, while at the same time serving the needs of forest managers, conservation biologists, and professional entomologists. The literature on North America's geometroid fauna is mostly scattered and generally inaccessible to the nonspecialist. For all but the well - studied species, we wrestled with some uncertainty - about the taxonomy, about what characters would prove diagnostic, and especially about the natural histories of the species included in this manual. Given these uncertainties, this guide must be viewed as a first effort - the taxonomy and our diagnoses will change as these insects become better known. Much remains to be learned about the host ranges and phenologies of all but the most common species. Photographic studies capturing variation, developmental changes, and natural behaviors would make valuable contributions to the knowledge of these important insects. Indeed, much remains to be discovered by those who take the time to observe these and other small creatures that make their homes in forests.

Caterpillars of Eastern North America by David L. Wagner Pdf
This lavishly illustrated guide will enable you to identify the caterpillars of nearly 700 butterflies and moths found east of the Mississippi. The more than 1,200 color photographs and two dozen line drawings include numerous exceptionally striking images. The giant silk moths, tiger moths, and many other species covered include forest pests, common garden guests, economically important species, and of course, the Mescal Worm and Mexican Jumping Bean caterpillars. Full-page species accounts cover almost 400 species, with up to six images per species including an image of the adult plus succinct text with information on distribution, seasonal activity, foodplants, and life history. These accounts are generously complemented with additional images of earlier instars, closely related species, noteworthy behaviors, and other intriguing aspects of caterpillar biology. Many caterpillars are illustrated here for the first time. Dozens of new foodplant records are presented and erroneous records are corrected. The book provides considerable information on the distribution, biology, and taxonomy of caterpillars beyond that available in other popular works on Eastern butterflies and moths. The introductory chapter covers caterpillar structure, life cycles, rearing, natural enemies, photography, and conservation. The section titled "Caterpillar Projects" will be of special interest to educators. Given the dearth of accessible guides on the identification and natural history of caterpillars, Caterpillars of Eastern North America is a must for entomologists and museum curators, forest managers, conservation biologists and others who seek a compact, easy-to-use guide to the caterpillars of this vast region. A compact guide to nearly 700 caterpillars east of the Mississippi, from forest pests to garden guests and economically important species 1,200 color photos and 24 line drawings enable easy identification Full-page species accounts with image of adult insect for almost 400 species, plus succinct text on distribution and other vital information Many caterpillars illustrated here for the first time Current information on distribution, biology, and taxonomy not found in other popular works A section geared toward educators, "Caterpillar Projects" An indispensable resource for all who seek an easy-to-use guide to the caterpillars of this vast region
Caterpillars in the Middle by Robert J. Marquis,Suzanne Koptur Pdf
Caterpillars are excellent model organisms for understanding how multiple selective forces shape the ecology and evolution of insects, and organisms in general. Recent research using the tools of modern molecular biology, genetics, metabolomics, microbial ecology, experiments conducted at a global level, network analysis, and statistical analyses of global data sets, combined with basic natural history, are yielding exciting new insights into caterpillar adaptations and ecology. The best way to view these research advances is within a framework of tri-trophic interactions. This is a timely topic for research given the central role of caterpillars and plants in the ecology and trophic structure of terrestrial communities. This book is unique in that it contains chapters from a team of experts on a diversity of key topics within caterpillar-plant interactions. This volume brings together contributions by researchers from around the globe, working in both tropical and temperate habitats, and in human-managed and more natural habitats. It is a significant contribution to our understanding of insect biology, and the role that insects, as represented by caterpillars, play in a world increasingly dominated by humans and one in which threats to insect biodiversity are mounting.
