phylogenetic analysis for all Corydalus species.
It
also provides a species identification key, updates distribution data
for each species, reviews morphology and terminology, analyzes the
genus’ biogeography, and introduces the literature on natural
history.

- 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.
