Synopsis The Araceae of Peninsular Malaysia (Penerbit USM) by : Mashhor Mansor

A review of the Araceae of Peninsular Malaysia, including its off-shore islands, is presented as a precursor to revising the family for the Flora of Peninsular Malaysia project. The aroid flora of Peninsular Malaysia comprises 28 genera and ca 140 indigenous (of which17 provisionally accepted) with 25 species (ca 17%) endemic. Peninsular Malaysia has no endemic aroid genera. As compared to Thailand with 29 genera, ca 200 species of which 62 species (ca 30%) are endemic, and Borneo where 38 genera (of which are 10 endemic), and currently 670 indigenous species of which more than 40% are undescribed and about 95% are endemic. An historical review of Araceae research in Peninsular Malaysia, and keys to higher taxa are provided. Most genera are illustrated. Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia

Synopsis Indigenous Knowledge and Sustainable Practice (Penerbit USM) by : Darlina Md Naim

Indigenous knowledge plays a key role in sustainable practices and has been the fundamental part in many areas including agriculture, health care, education, fisheries, food preparation and conservation. This book consists of six articles, which deal with indigenous knowledge and local wisdom related to natural resources. This book mainly discusses the use of natural resources as a source of food and economy, and how the local communities use the resources for their survival. Another aspect presented in this book is the integration of science and natural resources as well as its usefulness in facilitating human’s life. Besides presents the interconnectedness and dynamic relationship between humans, biodiversity and environment, including plants and animals, this book also highlights the implementation of an appropriate technology in utilizing the natural resources for sustainable use. Indigenous Knowledge and Sustainable Practice is definitely a reference for students, researchers and academicians especially from the field of science, and those who are interested in knowing and learning the local knowledge in natural sciences and technology with the focus in the Malaysian context.

Synopsis Trapping and the Detection, Control, and Regulation of Tephritid Fruit Flies by : Todd Shelly

The book focuses on four broad topics related to trapping of agriculturally important tephritid fruit flies, namely i) lures and traps, ii) invasion biology and detection of infestations, iii) attract and kill systems, and iv) trade regulations and risk assessment. This comprehensive structure progresses from the biological interaction between insect and lures/traps to the area-wide use of trapping systems to the utilization and impact of trapping data on international trade. The chapters include accounts of earlier research but are not simply compendia and instead evaluate past and current work as a tool for critical analysis and proposal of productive avenues for future work. At present there is no book available that deals with fruit fly trapping in such a broad context. Our book fills this gap and serves as a global reference for both those interested in fruit flies specifically as well as anyone dealing with the threat of invasive agricultural insects in general.
