Life History Of The Parental Shield Bug, Parastrachia Japonensis

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book presents the discoveries made during nearly three decades of research on the parental shield bug, <i>Parastrachia japonensis</i> inhabiting Kyushu Island, Japan. <i>P. japonensis</i> has evolved a unique and fascinating life history, characterized by extreme behavioral and physiological adaptations that have culminated in a singularly dependent relationship with its lone host tree, <i>Schoepfia jasminodora </i>(Olacaceae), which is a generally scarce and unreliable resource.</p><p>It is expected that the evolution of parental care behaviors in the strictly semelparous <i>P. japonensis</i> was more directly influenced by the benefit to females that arises from enhanced survivorship of current offspring, rather than any possible cost the females might incur in terms of reduced future reproductive success, because no future reproduction is possible<i>. </i>The authors explain how the different parental cares in this species enhance offspring survivorship in the context of the ecological conditions it has experienced over evolutionary time.</p><p>The book begins with a recap of the earliest studies, the reports through 1991, and then introduces the many fascinating aspects of the life history, neurobiology, physiology and behavior of <i>P. japonensis </i>that have been newly discovered since, and those aspects that have been confirmed through experimentation over the past thirty years. This comprehensive review of information will be useful for comparative studies of parental care in other semelparous and iteroparous organisms experiencing both similar and different ecological constraints. The book will be of academic interest to undergraduate and graduate students of entomology, zoology, behavior, and behavioral ecology.</p>

Evolutionary Biology Of Carabus Ground Beetles - How Species Richness Increases

by Teiji Sota

158,34€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book presents the whole picture of the ecological and evolutionary study on the ground beetle group, the subgenus <i>Ohomopterus</i> of the genus <i>Carabus</i>, endemic to Japan. This flightless beetle group consists of many geographic races. They show divergence in key traits for reproductive isolation—body size and genital morphology, which leads to coexistence of two or more species. This beetle group provides an important material to study how a lineage of organisms diversify and form multi-species assemblage, and thereby multiply their species richness. The book introduces novel genomic approaches to resolve questions about evolution of <i>Ohomopterus</i>. The readers will find that this story of evolution in <i>Carabus</i> beetles revealed by recent approaches is much different from what was told in previous literature.</p>Exploring different cases across a wide range of lineages is important in constructing a synthetic theory of species radiation and richness, includingspeciation and species coexistence. This study on <i>Ohomopterus</i> beetles contributes to the ongoing discussion to understand how and why species multiply and how species richness increases in one area of our planet.</p><br>
