The book is the only scientific monograph dealing with coccinellids (i.e. ladybirds), a group of beetles which are beneficial predators of aphids, scale insects and mites, and are also one of the most popular insects. This volume is an updated and modified version of Biology of Coccinellidae (1973) 250 pp. Due to a vast increase in information, the book has become more voluminous (xvi + 464 pp. comprising 133 tables, 95 figures, 11 plates, 1692 references). While the information goes into enough detail for a researcher or university teacher, the book should also be easily readable for the naturalist who is interested in the background behind the observed phenomena. Extension agriculture specialists will find a friendly guide to the use of coccinellids in integrated pest management and biological control. The authors hope that the volume will thus help to make our environment safer both for humans and animals

Usually, geneticists postulate a minimum number of 600 pairs for a population to survive without incest problems. However, the data provided here show that the minimum viable population size solely depends on the species in question. By means of existing small bird, mammal, fish, insect and other animal populations, the minimum number of individuals, which is necessary for survival, is analyzed. Moreover, the effects of random events on small populations, like volcano eruptions on islands, are investigated. The presented findings are of interest not only to researchers, but also to nature conservation planners

Argues for a revised theory of urban ecology that would take into account the distribution & interaction of plant & animal populations. It is asserted that traditional theory of urban ecology is concerned with the inhospitability of cities & improvements in landscape & ambience, based on a superficial understanding of nature. Urban society does not adapt to nature, but destroys it, creating a need for an urban ecology in which humans learn to develop a greater respect for nature. It is concluded that urban ecology theory is obligated to make apparent the inherent contradictions between humans & nature, since the city itself destroys nature, & artificial landscaping is insufficient to mitigate that contradiction.

Rory Putman addresses the question of how, in many temporate ecosystems, diverse and species-rich assemblies of ungulates manage to co-exist despite often quite extensive overlap in ecological requirements. Putman explores the potential for competition, competition tolerance and even positive facilitation amongst the members of such guilds of ungulates. As a central worked example, the author employs data resulting from over 20 years of personal research into the ecology and population dynamics of various large herbivores of the New Forest in Southern England. With these, he applies formal protocols in resource use, evidence for resource limitation and evidence for interaction between species in changing population size over the years

Deposit feeders, animals that derive nutrition from organic matter in sedimentary deposits, are dominant among the inhabitants of muds and, therefore, of the benthos of much of the ocean. In this volume the critical research problems pertaining to deposit feeders are identified and promising approaches for dealing with those problems are proposed. Interdisciplinary approaches are of utmost importance in the study of deposit feeders and their sedimentary environment, merging fields as disparate as nutritional physiology and sediment geochemistry. Among the topics presented are advances in theories of foraging and digestion, and new experimental approaches to study the potential foods, feeding behavior and physiology of animals that ingest sediment
