{"product_id":"9783319817293","title":"Neuroptera (Including Megaloptera) (Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects)","description":"\u003cp\u003e§16§This order once encompassed all insects with a complex network of wing veins, regardless of whether their metamorphosis was incomplete or complete. §16§ing of the exceptions are species in the family Sisyridae, some of which develop as larvae inside freshwater sponges.Because only a relatively small number of species are still included in Neuroptera sensu lato, this book provides keys to all known South American species that have been described well enough to be identified with any degree of certainty. §04§General Introduction.- PART I General information.- Chapter 1 Order 7: Neuroptera (sensu lato).- Chapter 2 Keys to the suborders and families.- PART II Keys to the genera and species of Megaloptera families.- Chapter 3 Sialidae.- Chapter 4 Corydalidae.- PART III Keys to the genera and species of Planipennia families.- Chapter 5 Conopterygidae.- Chapter 6 Ascaliphidae.- Chapter 7 Myrmeleontidae.- Chapter 8 Crocidae.- Chapter 9 Nemopteridae.- Chapter 10 Mantispidae.- Chapter 11 Dilariidae.- Chapter 12 Hemeropteriidae.- Chapter 13 Olmylidae.- Chapter 14 Polystoechotidae.- Chapter 15 Sisyridae.- Chapter 16 Chrysopidae.- Chapter 17 Berothidae.§ §02§The author, Dr. Charles W. Heckman, has performed ecological research in Laos, Thailand, Germany, Brazil, and the United States. His publications include books on rice field ecology in Thailand and the Pantanal wetland in western Brazil, as well as many monographs and shorter publications on various aspects of biology and environmental sciences. He undertook the preparation of the Encyclopedia of South American Aquatic Insects to produce a reference work with which researchers in South America can identify the species they encounter without having to first complete exhaustive searches of the literature, including papers published on several continents in different languages. The lack of such a tool has long impeded progress in faunal surveys, ecology, and other fields of science. Dr. Heckman's extensive experience identifying aquatic insect species using less than optimal literature has allowed him to develop an ability for recognizing the morphological features most useful for di §02§stinguishing one species from another, and this ability comes to the aid of the users of his keys to the South American aquatic insect species.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48813653623019,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":402.84,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9783319817293-1.jpg?v=1781719840","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9783319817293","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
