Handbook of Field Crops, Fruits, Landscape, Turf And Vegetable Insects

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Insects are a class of invertebrates within the arthropod phylum that have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. They are among the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, including more than a million described species and representing more than half of all known living organisms. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, a habitat dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans. This book provides the first comprehensive coverage of the insect and other arthropod pests in the environment worldwide. Presented is a brief description, biology, and detailed information on the development, habits, and distribution of urban and public health pests. There are various illustrations to accompany some of the major pest species. The format is designed to serve as a ready-reference and to provide basic information on orders, families, and species. The species coverage is international and based on distribution in domestic and peridomestic habitats. The book will serve as a student textbook, professional training manual, and handbook for pest control professionals, regulatory officials, and urban entomologists. (jacket). Artikel-Nr. 120491
