Description for Karyotypes of Parasitic Hymenoptera
Hardback. The goal of this ground-breaking and updated work is to document the author's study of the karyotype structure and chromosomal evolution of parasitic Hymenoptera. It also interprets the results obtained for systematic and phylogenetic purposes. Num Pages: 183 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAK; PSVT7. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 431.
Not so long ago, karyology was considered a vanguard biological discipline, which could solve nearly all problems of systematics and phylogenetics. We liked to believe in the bright future, in a magician who will appear like a Jack-in-the-box and reveal the truth to us. However, excessive hopes related to the chromosomal study came true only in part. In the meantime, new candidates claimed the place of the magician, i. e. phenetics succeeded by cladistics and now by molecular methods in systematics and phylogeny. Nevertheless, it becomes progressively more ob- ous nowadays that cladistics is just a bright envelope for the ... Read more

Reviews for Karyotypes of Parasitic Hymenoptera
From the reviews: "This book is principally the summary of a large body of work, spanning nearly 25 years, by Vladimir Gokhman [1]. He has carved a niche in karyology of parasitoid wasps and this book has much to offer in the way of chromosome data. The findings are explicitly linked to phylogenetic hypotheses and we are presented with some ... Read more
