| Description: |
Members of the Hymenopteran order range from the familiar ants, bees, and wasps to a huge variety of predatory, parasitic, and plant-feeding insects. They are of immense economic significance, primarily as pollinators but also because of their increasing use as biological control agents. This is the first time that comprehensive coverage of the hymenopterous fauna of a tropical country has been published. 'The Hymenoptera of Costa Rica' covers the classification, biology, morphology, and economic importance of the group and includes illustrated keys to families and subfamilies. The book is illustrated throughout by fine line drawings, black and white photographs, and scanning electron micrographs. An extensive bibliography of key works for the identification and biologicalstudy of the Central American Hymenoptera is provided. |
| Synopsis: |
The Hymenopteran order is one of the largest and most diverse insect groups, whose members range from the familiar ants, bees, and wasps to a huge variety of predatory, parasitic, and plant-feeding insects. They can be any size from the tiny 0.2mm fairy flies to spider-hunting wasps with wingspans of more than 10cm and are of immense significance, primarily as pollinators but also because of their increasing use as biological control agents. This is the first time that comprehensive coverage of the hymeopterous fauna of a tropical country has been published. |
