Aphids are tempting subjects for investigation because they are
often abundant, easily found, and unlikely to run away, and because
of intriguing facts about their biology such as polyphenism,
parthenogenesis, gall formation, and the production of a soldier
morph. However, until now identification has presented a severe
challenge to the beginner, because there are so many rather similar
species, many of which have several different forms. The authors
make this much-needed Naturalists' Handbook accessible by confining
themselves to aphids living on broad-leaved trees. This has reduced
the problems of identification to manageable proportions and should
encourage more field studies of this important and ubiquitous group
of insects. This is a digital reprint (without updates) of ISBN
9780855463144 (2007).
