What Bugged the Dinosaurs?: Insects, Disease, and Death in the Cretaceous
ISBN: 9780691124315 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Millions of years ago in the Cretaceous period, the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex--with its dagger-like teeth for tearing its prey to ribbons--was undoubtedly the fiercest carnivore to roam the Earth. Yet as What Bugged the Dinosaurs? reveals, T. rex was not the only killer. George and Roberta Poinar show how insects--from biting sand flies to disease-causing parasites--dominated life on the planet and played a significant role in the life and death of the dinosaurs. The Poinars bring the age of the dinosaurs marvelously to life. Analyzing exotic insects fossilized in...

Flowers in Amber
ISBN: 9783031090462 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. While much attention has been given to animal life in amber, the remains of a variety of plants, including angiosperm flowers, also exist in fossilized resin. Presented here is a pictorial synopsis of 94 flowers that occur in four major amber deposits around the world. These deposits are from Burma (Myanmar), the Baltic area, the Dominican Republic and Mexico, and range in age from the mid-Cretaceous to the mid-Tertiary. The basic features of these flowers are presented and their relationship with existing plant lineages discussed. This work will be of...

Quest for Life in Amber
ISBN: 9780201489286 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. George Poinar began collecting amber specimins over thirty years ago, but it was only recently that he, Roberta Poinar, and the rest of his research team astounded the scientific community with the news that they had obtained "live" DNA strands from an insect over 40 million years old. The news was so significant that it made headlines throughout the world. Since that time, their lab has remained extraordinarily active, and in the summer of 1993, they were able to announce the successful extraction of preserved DNA strands over 125 million years old. Thus, there is now DNA available for study...

Diagnostic Manual for the Identification of Insect Pathogens
ISBN: 9781468424416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This manual was prepared for the diagnosis of insect diseases caused by infectious agents. The agents (or pathogens) included here are fungi, protozoans, bacteria, viruses, and rickettsias. The present work was prepared after much deliberation and discussion with students and teachers who felt a guide of this type would be valuable for diagnosing the microbial diseases of insects. It was modeled after a seminar given on the same subject at Berke ley, which had as its major goal the recognition and identification of insect pathogens for practical purposes. The present work in cludes numerous...

Life in Amber
ISBN: 9780804720014 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Amber is a semi-precious gem that is formed over eons by natural forces out of the resin of trees. Human fascination with amber dates back to prehistoric times, when it was probably considered to have magical powers and was used for adornment and trade. Amber amulets and beads dating from 35,000 to 1,800 B.C. have been found, and where they have been found (for example in graves hundreds of miles from their chemically determined origins) has often helped to establish ancient trade routes. The preservative qualities of plant resins were well known by the ancients. The Egyptians used resins to...

The Evolutionary History of Nematodes: As Revealed in Stone, Amber and Mummies
ISBN: 9789004175211 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Nematodes are one of the most abundant groups of invertebrates on the face of the earth. Their numbers are estimated to range from 1000 per cm2 in the sand-covered hydrogen sulphide 'black zone' beneath the ocean floors to 1.2 billion in a single hectare of soil. Estimates for their species diversity range from 100 000 to 10 million. The past history of nematodes is a mystery, since very few fossils have been discovered. This book establishes a solid base in palaeonematology with descriptions of 66 new fossil species and accounts of all previous fossil and subfossil nematodes from sedimentary...
