- Summary:
- This reference guide covers information on the true bugs (Heteroptera) of Middle East and includes taxonomy, general biology, economic importance, applied aspects, and distributional data. It also includes up-to-date reviews of the literature on the Heteroptera of the Middle East. The book represents a clear guide for future research in heteropteran biology. Apart from providing a taxonomic treatment of all the families known from the Middle East, information is provided on Iranian and general geographic distributions, bionomics, ecology, natural enemies, prey records, and plant associations for the various species. General discussion also is included on morphology, economic importance, family characters of each group, and affinity with related groups. This book includes detailed information on more than 2,000 species of the Middle East Heteroptera belonging to 58 families. An exhaustive bibliography (over 4,000) has been provided to facilitate studies of chosen aspects of the various species. Up-to-date information for the various species has been provided as far as possible. The book contains the contributions of 37 heteropteran specialists from 17 countries. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, and masters and Ph. D students of entomology, biosciences, agriculture, biological control, IPM (Integrated Pest Management), and environmental sciences. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of the mentioned scientific fields. National and international entomological and agricultural scientists may also find the book to be a useful read as well as those individuals who are active in medical, urban, and forensic entomology because there are several heteropteran pests in these fields. .
