Inhaltsangabe

Insect Collection and Identification: Techniques for the Field and Laboratory, Second Edition, is the definitive text on all aspects required for collecting and properly preparing specimens for identification. This book provides detailed taxonomic keys to insects and related arthropods, giving recent classification changes to various insect taxa, along with updated preservation materials and techniques for molecular and genomic studies. It includes methods of rearing, storing and shipping specimens, along with a supporting glossary. New sections provide suggestions on how insects and other arthropods can be used within, and outside, the formal classroom and examine currently accepted procedures for collecting insects at crime scenes.

This book is a necessary reference for entomology professionals and researchers who seek the most updated taxonomy and techniques for collection and preservation. It will serve as a valuable resource for entomology students and professionals who need illustrative and detailed information for easy arthropod identification.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Arthropod Collection and Identification: Laboratory and Field Techniques, Second Edition is the definitive text on all aspects required for collecting and properly preparing specimens for identification. This book provides detailed and up-to-date taxonomic keys to insects and related arthropods given recent classification changes to various insect taxa, along with updated preservation materials and techniques for molecular and genomic studies.

This book presents methods of rearing, storing, and shipping specimens, along with a supporting glossary. A new section provides suggestions on how insects and other arthropods can be used within and outside the formal classroom. The growing field of forensic entomology necessitates that law enforcement personnel, coroners, and others involved in crime scene investigations properly collect and prepare insects to preserve the chain of custody requirement in courts of law. A new section in this book examines current accepted procedures when collecting insects at crime scenes.
