  • Arthropod Management Tests CD-ROM (2002)
ESA’s annual research compendium is now database driven for greater functionality and searching. It contains up-to-date information on preliminary and routine screening tests on the management of both beneficial and harmful arthropods. Pest management methods tested and reported include the use of chemical pesticides as well as other materials or agents, such as IGRs, pheromones, natural enemies for biocontrol, and pest resistant plants/animals. It is an excellent resource for anyone working in plant health and agricultural insect control.

  • The Handbook of Household and Structural Insect Pests
Humans are outnumbered by more than 1,600,000,000:1 when it comes to insects. Knowledge is your best weapon in the battle against urban and structural pests, and the Handbook of Household and Structural Insect Pests is one of the best ways to learn about insects that will be found in the home. This handbook covers more than 115 insect pests and is designed to be used by pest control operators, urban entomologists, extension agents, students, consultants, and homeowners. This “how to” guide for pest identification features contributions from 30 top entomologists, 130 color photographs, distribution maps, a comprehensive glossary, and sources of local information.

  • Catalog of the Names of Cimex Linnaeus, with Comments on Early Works Concerning the Heteroptera
At one time nearly all species of Heteroptera were placed in Cimex.
The end result was a confusing array of names for systematists.
This publication is the result of 20 years of research.
It helps to determine the current status and placement of trivial names first used in Cimex, including nonbinomial names proposed by DeGeer and Goeze.

  • Revision of the New World Delphacid Planthopper Genus Pissonotus (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea)
This comprehensive  study of nearly 10,000 planthoppers corrects the ambiguities in the key and descriptions of Pissonotus by Morgan and Beamer (1949), applies their definitions to world fauna, addresses the suspicion that there were undes-cribed species in the genus, and presents a phylogenetic analysis of the genus.
The end result is identification aid of the genus.

  • Balancing Nature: Assessing the Impact of Importing Non-Native Biological Control Agents (An International Perspective)
International travel and commerce have contributed to a greater rate of introduction of non-native pest species.
Reuniting these pests with their natural enemies is seen by some as natural and safe pest control.
But is it?
This book explores both sides of this controversial and important debate.
A decision to introduce a predator or parasite invariably poses risks that potentially will impact the well-being of many stakeholders and may change the flora and fauna of a state, nation, or continent.
The authors engage in a respectful dialogue regarding facts and values, and use their differences and commonalities to try to develop mutually acceptable compromises, or at the very least, discern the least damaging alternatives.

  • A Cladistic Study of the Arctiidae (Lepidoptera) Using Characters of Immatures and Adults
This is the first rigorous modern, cladistic study of this large family and the first available treatment that is worldwide, using multiple character systems from both adults and immature stages.
There is a clear definition of subfamilial taxa of the Arctiidae based on shared derived characters.
The book includes a testable hypothesis of their relationships and of the tribes within the Arctiinae, the subfamily of greatest interest to ecologists and researchers.
It also provides a historical context for systematists working at lower levels within the Arctiidae.

  • Bees and Crop Pollination: Crisis, Crossroads, Conservation
Roughly 70% of the world's principal food crops are pollinated by bees, but bee populations have been dwindling in abundance and species richness since the mid 1980's.
This is not solely an agricultural problem, however.
Pollinators form the base of all terrestrial ecosystem food webs.
Their health affects our health.
