  • Biological Invasions and Global Insect Decline

    • 1st Edition
    • Jonatan Rodríguez + 2 more
    • English
    Biological Invasions and Global Insect Decline offers the most updated knowledge on how invasive alien species affect insect diversity worldwide. The book provides ongoing research and the most relevant information, covering the main aspects of the impact of biological invasions as well as future insights on mitigation and consequences. It discusses how the introduction of all kinds of organisms, from bacteria and plants to vertebrates, affect current declines in insect diversity. The latter portion of the book delves into existent and future monitoring and management programs, including citizen science and regenerative ecology as socio-ecological solutions to combat these threats. Written and edited by international experts on invasion ecology and insect conservation, this book explores the role of global change and the introduction of invasive species in altering the structure of habitats and how this induces a global insect decline. This will be a valuable resource for entomologists, invasion biologists and other researchers in biodiversity conservation, as well as practitioners and stakeholders concerned about problematic invasive alien species and insect population decline.

  • Synthesis of 5-Membered Heterocycles

    Role of DMF as Solvent, Reagent, Catalyst, and Stabilizer
    • 1st Edition
    • Navjeet Kaur
    • English
    Synthesis of Five-Membered Heterocycles: Role of DMF as Solvent, Reagent, Catalyst, and Stabilizer helps readers quickly assess possible synthetic approaches. The book's audience, researchers, academic professionals and synthetic chemists both in industry and academia will find detailed information about the synthesis of five-membered heterocyclic compounds using dimethylformamide. Over the years, heterocyclic compounds, especially five-membered, have drawn more attention of pharmaceutical community because of their therapeutic value. The formation of heterocyclic compounds has turned out to be the keystone of synthetic organic chemistry. Dimethylformamide has played an important role in organic synthesis for a long time, and it is frequently utilized as a common solvent for chemical reactions and broadly used in industry as a reagent. It is a unique chemical and can play three other roles in organic chemistry, i.e., as stabilizer, reagent and catalyst. Due to its structure, DMF can participate in several reactions as a versatile building block for several units.
