Fundamentals of Plant-Parasitic Nematode Diagnostics, Systematics and Classification presents a single, comprehensive resource for those interested in nematode biosystematics. The microscopic size, character plasticity, and habits of these animals which have long posed obstacles in their identification and derivation of relationships with others is addressed by systematic, complete presentation of current knowledge. Unlike other animal groups, the exact diversity of the nematodes is still significantly unknown and, except for some fossilized preservations in ambers, any solid paleontological proof for the nematodes is still lacking. In this critical bottleneck of having solid comprehensive data profile in hand for phylogeny estimation, scientists struggle to fully resolve the nematode evolutionary history toward developing a definitive classification. This book takes advantage of recent advances of molecular systematics and phylogenetic systems to create a single reference dataset from multiple scientific disciplines. By compiling and discussing the multiple classifications that have been proposed over time, Fundamentals of Plant-Parasitic Nematode Diagnostics, Systematics and Classification establishes a foundational reference point upon which future research can be based. Unlike other nematode taxonomies and systematics, which are focused on a specific group or classification, the book includes the core theories and principles of taxonomy, systematics and phylogeny, obtaining and managing characteristic data and diagnostic identification. This book will prove an invaluable resource for students, researchers and scientists.

Encyclopedia of Food Systems and Agriculture 3rd Edition will address important issues by examining topics of global agriculture and food systems that are key to understanding the challenges we face. Questions it addresses include: Will we be able to produce enough food to meet the increasing dietary needs and wants of the additional two billion people expected to inhabit our planet by 2050? Will we be able to meet the need for so much more food while simultaneously reducing adverse environmental effects of today’s agriculture practices? Will we be able to produce the additional food using less land and water than we use now? Climate change mitigation and adaptation Biodiversity Societal aspects Technology/innovatio... Diversity / local v global Resilience These are among the most important challenges that face our planet in the coming decades. The broad themes of food systems and people, agriculture and the environment, the science of agriculture, agricultural products, and agricultural production systems are covered in more than 200 separate chapters of this work. The book provides information that serves as the foundation for discussion of the food and environment challenges of the world. An international group of highly respected authors addresses these issues from a global perspective and provides the background, references, and linkages for further exploration of each of topics of this comprehensive work.
