View Rights PortalBurleigh Dodds Subliscience Publishing was established in 2015 by former staff at the award-winning Woodhead Publishing. Our vision is to help solve one of the world’s greatest challenges: to feed the world’s growing population. There is an urgent need for a more climate-smart agriculture able to feed a growing population whilst, at the same time, adapting to (and not exacerbating) climate change. Our goal is to build collections of research on key topics in agricultural science so that researchers can build on existing work and collaborate more effectively. We are achieving this by using ’smart-publishing’ to help achieve ’climate-smart’ agriculture.
View Rights PortalThis landmark volume is a unique, comprehensive compendium of all the biosystematics information on mosquitoes available today. Its purpose is to provide the international community with an up-to-date authoritative resource on the taxonomy and systematics of the entire family of this crucially important group of insects. The book exhaustively summarizes the large and varied taxonomic literature on mosquitoes, providing a useful and practical amalgamation of their nomenclatural history, classification, morphology, bionomics and evolution. The need for this volume coincides with the growing paucity of professional traditional taxonomists who are still available to assist and advise the new generation of molecular biologists in the principles and practice of zoological nomenclature, morphotaxonomy and classification. For this reason, the compilation is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, entomologists, librarians and anyone interested in the taxa that comprise the family Culicidae. It is no exaggeration to state that this book is a monumental piece of work. It treats and provides detailed information for all formal and informal elements of hierarchical classification, from species to family level. All parts of the book are interlinked and provide a platform of data for others to use and build upon.
