Dieses Handbuch dient sowohl als Identifizierungshilfe als auch als Informationsquelle für eine große Gruppe von landwirtschaftlich relevanten Insekten weltweit. Ziel des Buches ist es, den Nichtfachmann weltweit in die Lage zu versetzen, die Aphiden (Blattläuse) zu identifizieren und eine Zusammenfassung der Erkenntisse zu jeder Spezies mit Verweisen auf weiterführende Information zu bieten. Diese 2. Auflage wurde komplett überarbeitet und aktualisiert, wobei Zuverlässigkeit und Benutzerfreundlichkeit der Identifizierungsschlüssel verbessert wurde. Ein besseres Verständnis wird ferner durch die größere Anzahl an Illustrationen erreicht sowie durch Angaben der allgemeinen Pflanzenbezeichnungen und Namen der Virusfamilien.(TIS)  INTRODUCTORY SECTION.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction and Aims of the Book.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Systematics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Life Cycles.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Host-Plant Relationships.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Geographical Distribution.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Morphology and Key Characters.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE CROPS AND THEIR APHIDS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Notes on the Use of this Section.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e List of Crop Plants and their English Names.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lists and Keys to Aphids on Each Crop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE APHIDS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the Section.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Systematic Treatment of Genera (Alphabetical).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e TECHNIQUES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Collecting.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Preservation and Mounting.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Labelling and Storage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e SOURCES OF INFORMATION.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Regionally Classified Faunal Works.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e General Biology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Morphology, Anatomy and Physiology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Genetics and Development.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Migration and Dispersal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Relationships with Other Insects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Host-Plant Relationships.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Control.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bibliographies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e REFERENCES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PHOTOGRAPHIC GUIDE.  \u003cp\u003e\"For those who missed the original, don't hesitate now.\" (\u003cem\u003eEntomologists Monthly Magazine,\u003c\/em\u003e Vol 137, 2001) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"... this excellent book achieves its aim of making a rather difficult and very important group of insects accessible to the layman.\" (\u003cem\u003eAfrican Entomology,\u003c\/em\u003e Vol 8\/2, 2000)   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eR.
