Classification of Insects: Keys to the Living and Extinct Families of Insects, and to the Living Families of Other Terrestrial Arthropods (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Classification of Insects: Keys to the Living and Extinct Families of Insects, and to the Living Families of Other Terrestrial Arthropods
Long teaching experience has served clearly to demonstrate to the authors that the fundamental principles of classification cannot be fully appreciated through the study of descriptive text books, nor can any comprehension of the infinite variety of nature be acquired except by close observational contact with the things themselves. Moreover, the study of a few selected types by the laboratory method fails to give more than a very superficial view of the organic world, and as biological knowledge advances, tends to emphasize the similarities between ani mals and to minimize the differences that exist between them. It is, therefore, highly desirable that the principles of taxonomy be presented to the student in a practical way to demonstrate particularly certain of its more fundamental and important phases.
