It seems that every kid goes through a "bug" phase. When your child or classroom can't resist collecting caterpillars, ladybugs, and crickets, this collection of poems makes a fun and educational companion. This book contains 31 poems and nursery rhymes that are perfect for budding entomologists and those who haven't outgrown their sense of wonder when seeing a spider's silken web. Familiar favorites like "The Ants go Marching" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" are joined by poems from English literature's finest like Emily Dickinson, John Donne, Christina Rosetti, William Wordsworth and more. This book features a table of contents and a sprinkling of whimsical insect illustrations.

Free Download Modelling Insect Populations in Agricultural Landscapes by Rafael A. Moral, Wesley A.C. Godoy
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 246 Pages | ISBN : 3031430972 | 30.2 MB
This book combines chapters emphasising mathematical, statistical, and computational modelling applied to insect populations, particularly pests or natural enemies in agricultural landscapes. There is a gap between agricultural pest experimentation and ecological theory, which requires a connection to supply models with laboratory, and field estimates and projects receiving inputs and insights from models. In addition, decision-making in entomology with respect to pest management and biological conservation of natural enemies has been supported by results obtained from different computational and mathematical approaches. This book brings contemporary issues related to optimization in spatially structured landscapes, insect movement, stability analysis, game theory, machine learning, computer vision, Bayesian modelling, as well as other frameworks.

Free Download Climate Change and Insect Biodiversity: Challenges and Implications
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032448350 | 266 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 13.4 MB
This up-to-date reference book discusses the effects of climate change on the biodiversity of insect pests. The changing climate and agricultural intensification practices impact negatively on insect biodiversity. The book explains the significance of insect pests for evaluating climatic impacts on a wide range of ecological systems. It covers the effect of climate change on pollinators and household and agricultural insect pests. It explains how climate-smart agriculture can enhance productivity and food security.

Free Download Molecular Physiology and Evolution of Insect Digestive Systems
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031392329 | 501 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 14 MB
This book provides a unique blend of data on insect life spans, physiology, enzymology and other molecular features associated with digestion and nutrient absorption to enrich the knowledge on insects and to disclose putative molecular targets for the development of new insect control technologies and for improving insect raising procedures to be used as food and feed. With this aim, the book overviews the types of diets consumed by insects, describing their chemical components demanding digestion and discusses the evolutionary selective pressures on insects associated with feeding. Digestive enzymes are classified and detailed according to their activity on substrates and their evolutionary protein families. The technical details on how to obtain reliable enzymological parameters are discussed. The book reviews the structural changes in enzymes associated with the adaptation of insects to new diets and in avoiding natural plant inhibitors. Midgut features that enhance digestive and nutrient absorption efficiency and their underlying molecular mechanisms are described regarding insects pertaining to key points in evolution. Evolutionary trends of the mechanisms of digestion and nutrient absorption are discussed.

Insect Media: An Archaeology of Animals and Technology (Posthumanities) By Jussi Parikka
2010 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 081666739X | EPUB | 1 MB
Since the early nineteenth century, when entomologists first popularized the unique biological and behavioral characteristics of insects, technological innovators and theorists have proposed insects as templates for a wide range of technologies. In Insect Media, Jussi Parikka analyzes how insect forms of social organization-swarms, hives, webs, and distributed intelligence-have been used to structure modern media technologies and the network society, providing a radical new perspective on the interconnection of biology and technology.Through close engagement with the pioneering work of insect ethologists, including Jakob von Uexküll and Karl von Frisch, posthumanist philosophers, media theorists, and contemporary filmmakers and artists, Parikka develops an insect theory of media, one that conceptualizes modern media as more than the products of individual human actors, social interests, or technological determinants. They are, rather, profoundly nonhuman phenomena that both draw on and mimic the alien lifeworlds of insects.Deftly moving from the life sciences to digital technology, from popular culture to avant-garde art and architecture, and from philosophy to cybernetics and game theory, Parikka provides innovative conceptual tools for exploring the phenomena of network society and culture. Challenging anthropocentric approaches to contemporary science and culture, Insect Media reveals the possibilities that insects and other nonhuman animals offer for rethinking media, the conflation of biology and technology, and our understanding of, and interaction with, contemporary digital culture.
