Literature --Taxonomic IndexIn the last decades a remarkable renaissance has materialized in insect morphology, mainly triggered by the development of new cutting-edge technologies. This is an exciting time for biological synthesis where the mysteries and data derived from genomes can be combined with centuries of data from morphology and development. And, now, more than ever, detailed knowledge of morphology is essential to understanding the evolution of all groups of organisms. In this "age of phylogenomics" researchers rely on morphological data to support molecular findings, test complex evolutionary scenarios, and for placing fossil taxa. This textbook provides an in-depth treatment of the structures and the phylogeny of the megadiverse Hexapoda. The first part presents an up-to-date overview of general insect morphology with detailed drawings, scanning electron micrographs, and 3-D reconstructions. Also included is a chapter covering innovative morphological techniques (e.g., µ-computer tomography, 3-D modeling), brief treatments of insect development and phylogenetic methods, and a comprehensive morphological glossary. The second part is of a modern synthesis of insect systematics that includes taxon-specific morphological information for all Orders. The work is an invaluable reference for students and researchers working in all facets of biology and is a must for evolutionary biologists. A detailed understanding of morphology is essential in unraveling phylogenetic relationships and developing complex evolutionary scenarios. Increasingly researchers in phylogenomics are re/turning to morphological data to support their findings, while the development of new cutting-edge technologies has further increased interest in this growing field. This definitive handbook provides an in-depth treatment of insect morphology. The first part presents an up-to-date overview of insect morphology with detailed drawings, brilliant scanning electron micrographs and 3-D reconstructions as interactive PDFs. This is complemented by a chapter on innovative morphological techniques (e.g., µ-computer tomography, 3-D modeling) and a comprehensive morphological glossary. The second part treats the state of the art in insect systematics and includes taxon-specific morphological information for all orders. Systematics are treated formally, with for example the arguments for relationships ("apomorphies") always listed explicitly. The work is a useful reference for students and researchers working in different fields of biology and a must for those dealing with insects from an evolutionary perspective.De Gruyter TextbookInsectsMorphologyInsectsPhylogenyEntomology.Morphology.Phylogenomics.Zoological Systematics.InsectsMorphology.InsectsPhylogeny.595.7WH 7800rvkBeutel Rolf G1567579Friedrich Frank, Ge Si-Qin, Yang Xing-Ke, MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787891603321Insect morphology and phylogeny3839061UNINA04551nam 2200793Ia 450 991096081340332120251116175914.01-135-76952-41-135-76953-21-280-06205-397866100620580-203-00586-410.4324/9780203005866 (CKB)1000000000252158(EBL)201244(OCoLC)475914190(SSID)ssj0000304081(PQKBManifestationID)11263572(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000304081(PQKBWorkID)10278012(PQKB)10443590(MiAaPQ)EBC201244(OCoLC)56557988(EXLCZ)99100000000025215820031028d2004 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrNavies in northern waters, 1721-2000 /editors, Rolf Hobson, Tom KristiansenLondon Frank Cass20041 online resource (357 p.)Cass series--naval policy and history ;26"This book is the result of a workshop organised by the Norwegian Institute or Defence Studies in Oslo on 9-10 August 2001."0-415-40774-5 0-7146-5541-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Book Cover; Title; Contents; Series Editor's Preface; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations; Introduction; Great Britain and Maritime Law from the Declaration of Paris to the Era of Total War; The Long Life of Treaties: The Dutch Republic and Great Britain in the Eighteenth Century; Denmark Norway 1720 1807: Neutral Principles and Practice; Navies and Power Struggle in Northern and Eastern Europe, 1721 1814; Prussia, Germany and Maritime Law from Armed Neutrality to Unlimited Submarine Warfare, 1780 1917; The Jeune cole: The Strategy of the WeakThe US Navy and the 'Freedom of the Seas', 1775 1917The Interwar Years: Naval Disarmament, Collective Security and Preparations for War; Naval Armaments Diplomacy in Northern Waters: The Origins of the Anglo-Scandinavian Naval Agreement of 21 December 1938; The Superpowers and Secondary Navies in Northern Waters during the Cold War; Major Coastal State Small Naval Power: Norway's Cold War Policy and Strategy; Coastal Power: The Sea Power of the Coastal State and the Management of Maritime Resources; The Role of Naval Forces in Northern Waters at the Beginning of a New CenturyConcluding RemarksNotes on Contributors; Select Bibliography; IndexNavies in Northern Waters is a collection of articles covering the roles played by the secondary navies of northern European powers and the United States within the maritime balance of power. The contributions covering the 18th and 19th centuries focus on their relations with each other as they sought to create a counterweight to the dominant naval power of Britain. The inter-war years are treated from the perspectives of international disarmament efforts within the framework of collective security, and the subsequent naval rivalry in the Baltic area in the years leading up toCass series--naval policy and history ;26.Naval art and scienceEurope, NorthernHistory18th centuryNaval art and scienceEurope, NorthernHistory19th centuryCongressesNaval art and scienceEurope, NorthernHistory20th centuryCongressesNaval history, Modern18th centuryCongressesNaval history, Modern19th centuryCongressesNaval history, Modern20th centuryCongressesEurope, NorthernHistory, Naval18th centuryCongressesEurope, NorthernHistory, Naval19th centuryCongressesEurope, NorthernHistory, Naval20th centuryCongressesNaval art and scienceHistoryNaval art and scienceHistoryNaval art and scienceHistoryNaval history, ModernNaval history, ModernNaval history, Modern359.00903Hobson Rolf1879315Kristiansen Tom1879316Institutt for forsvarsstudier (Norway)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960813403321Navies in northern waters, 1721-20004492460UNINA
