Documents morphology, taxonomy, phylogeny, evolutionary changes,
and interactions of 23 orders of insects from the Middle Jurassic
and Early Cretaceous faunas in Northern China This book showcases
23 different orders of insect fossils from the Mid Mesozoic period
(165 to 125 Ma) that were discovered in Northeastern China. It
covers not only their taxonomy and morphology, but also their
potential implications on natural sciences, such as phylogeny,
function, interaction, evolution, and ecology. It covers fossil
sites; paleogeology; co-existing animals and plants in
well-balanced eco-systems; insects in the spotlight; morphological
evolution and functional development; and interactions of insects
with co-existing plants, vertebrates, and other insects. The book
also includes many elegant and beautiful photographs, line
drawings, and 3-D reconstructions of fossilized and extant insects.
Rhythms of Insect Evolution: Evidence from the Jurassic and
Cretaceous in Northern China features chapter coverage of such
insects as the: Ephemeroptera; Odonata; Blattaria; Isoptera;
Orthoptera; Notoptera; Dermaptera; Chresmodidae; Phasmatodea;
Plecoptera; Psocoptera; Homoptera; Heteroptera; Megaloptera;
Raphidioptera; Neuroptera; Coleoptera; Hymenoptera Diptera;
Mecoptera; Siphonaptera; Trichoptera and Lepidoptera. Combines
academic natural science, popular science, and artistic
presentation to illustrate rhythms of evolution for fossil insects
from the Mid Mesozoic of Northern China Documents morphology,
taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolutionary changes of 23 orders of
insects from the Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous faunas in
Northern China Presents interactions of insects with plants,
vertebrates, and other insects based on well-preserved fossil
evidence Uses photos of extant insects and plants, fossil and amber
specimens, line drawings, and 3-D computer-generated reconstruction
artworks to give readers clear and enjoyable impressions of the
scientific findings Introduces insect-related stories from western
and Chinese culture in text or sidebars to give global readers
broader exposures Rhythms of Insect Evolution: Evidence from the
Jurassic and Cretaceous in Northern China will appeal to
entomologists, evolutionists, paleontologists, paleoecologists, and
natural scientists.
