Daly and Doyen's Introduction to Insect Biology and Diversity

Written for students who have completed an introductory course in biology, the fourth edition of Daly and Doyen's Introduction to Insect Biology and Diversity presents the ideal balance of basic biological principles and in-depth treatment of insect classification, including keys for identifying more than four hundred families. In this fourth edition, James B. Whitfield, of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, continues as lead author, bringing a wealth of expertise on molecular analysis relating to development and systematics.

Daly's Introduction to Insect Biology and Diversity is respected for the balanced presentation and evolutionary perspective it brings to the study of entomology. This international third edition has been updated to contain the latest information on genetics, development, physiology, evolution, phylogeny, and systematics. The international third edition also witnesses a changing of the authorial guard as founding authors Daly and Doyen retire from the project. James Whitfield, of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, joins remaining-author Sandy Purcell as a new co-author, bringing a wealth of expertise on molecular analysis relating to development and systematics. In keeping with the changing nature of the entomology course, the text has been recrafted with both entomology majors as well as other interested undergraduates in mind. The revised text introduces key themes, such as evolution, applications to the real world, and new pedagogic tools, making the material even more relevant, interesting, and engaging. At the same time, the text maintains all its original strength as an authoritative source for the latest discoveries from the lab by thoroughly updating key topics and illustrations. The revision's three-pronged approach-incorporation of thematic discussions, updating of core biological principles as well as the latest taxonomic advances, and making the material more accessible through pedagogical devices- truly make Introduction to Insect Biology and Diversity the most comprehensive and affordable entomology text available.

This multi authored identification manual presents illustrated keys to the 34 subfamilies and 404 genera of the family Braconidae from the New World. Information about all New World genera described up to 1994 is included which represents an expanded and updated version of the information published in the 1987 Nearctic manual by Marsh, et. al. The manual consists of 37 chapters by world authorities plus an index to generic names including subgenera and synonyms, and an appendix listing all the New World genera alphabetically by subfamily. The first chapter provides an introduction including a review of braconid biology, literature, classification, biogeography, collection and curation, and a discussion of the manual format. The second chapter is an extensive illustrated discussion of braconid morphology and terminologies used in the keys. The third chapter is a fully illustrated key to the New World subfamilies of the Braconidae. The New World subfamilies are then presented separately in the remaining 34 chapters. For each, a key to the New World genera is included. Each of these keys is annotated to include estimated number of species, distribution, hosts, and critical references for each genus. Each subfamily chapter is extensively illustrated and the entire manual contains over 750 line drawings and scanning electron micrographs. This is the second edition of the sold out book and it contains separate notes on updates to all braconid subfamilies.
