It is the first color-illustrated guide to cover 1,406 species in all 115 families that occur in the region--and the first new in-depth guide to the region in more than forty years. Lavishly illustrated with over 1,500 stunning color images by some of the best insect photographers in North America, the book features an engaging and authoritative text by noted beetle expert Arthur Evans. Extensive introductory sections provide essential information on beetle anatomy, reproduction, development, natural history, behavior, and conservation. Also included are tips on where and when to find beetles; how to photograph, collect, and rear beetles; and how to contribute to research. Each family and species account presents concise and easy-to-understand information on identification, natural history, collecting, and geographic range. Organized by family, the book also includes an illustrated key to the most common beetle families, with 31 drawings that aid identification, and features current information on distribution, biology, and taxonomy not found in other guides. An unmatched guide to the rich variety of eastern North American beetles, this is an essential book for amateur naturalists, nature photographers, insect enthusiasts, students, and professional entomologists and other biologists. Provides the only comprehensive, authoritative, and accessible full-color treatment of the region's beetles Covers 1,406 species in all 115 families east of the Mississippi River Features more than 1,500 stunning color images from top photographers Presents concise information on identification, natural history, collecting, and geographic range for each species and family Includes an illustrated key to the most common beetle families. 606 $aNaturalists 606 $aNatural history 606 $aZoology 606 $aBeetles 615 0$aNaturalists. 615 0$aNatural history. 615 0$aZoology. 615 0$aBeetles. 676 $a595.76 700 $aEvans$b Arthur V.$01807009 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958850903321 996 $aBeetles of Eastern North America$94356473 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04688nam 22006375 450 001 9910624309303321 005 20251009094214.0 010 $a3-031-12112-0 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-12112-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7130104 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7130104 035 $a(CKB)25264904100041 035 $a(PPN)266353134 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-12112-8 035 $a(OCoLC)1350186617 035 $a(EXLCZ)9925264904100041 100 $a20221101d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEnvironmental Degradation in Asia $eLand Degradation, Environmental Contamination, and Human Activities /$fedited by Ayad M.

The land degradation covers assessing environmental degradation using geospatial technology, land use land cover mapping, environmental and anthropogenic degradation, assessment of land degradation vulnerability, evaluation of the impact of earthquake and the environmental control of the sand dunes. It also addresses the soil degradation and environmental pollution and presents several case studies such as tectonic activity and erosion, assessment of aircraft sound, soil degradation assessment for the arid territories, soil pollution, waste engine oil contamination, soil degradation, soil erosion modelling, land use and land cover change and its effect on soil erosion changes. Additionally, the book discusses the impact of climate change, and human activities including urban environmental quality, air pollution and the impact of armed conflict on the environment. Moreover, topics such as vegetation degradation including forest changes, hydrological and agricultural drought are presented. The book includes authors and scientists from Egypt, Iraq, Iran, India, Mongolia, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Republic of Kazakhstan, USA, Turkey, South Africa, Italy, China, Malaysia, Poland and Russia.
