Literature on entomology published in the USSR

полистес, 19.11.2017 16:19

Every entomologist has a bookcase, or at least a shelf, with what they consider to be valuable books on various entomological topics. Many of them, although outdated, are still useful. Some works have become classics. And the authors are Shvanvich, Kuznetsov, Yakhontov, Bey-Bienko ... there are dozens of them. I propose to post a bibliography of the most important works on entomology published in the USSR in this topic. They can be divided both chronologically (1917-1950, 1950-1990) and thematically: "general questions-physiology, biology, ecology, etc."," agricultural entomology "and"determinants". Books published in the early 90's can be singled out separately. They were published in extremely small print runs and if they are not available online, young people often do not even know about their existence.
Here is a suggestion.
To begin with, I post a list of (very incomplete) books on general issues (here are some books published after 1990 - in my opinion, they are also fundamental)

I'll add more

Pavlovsky E. N. Metody ruchnogo anatomirovaniya insektov [Methods of manual anatomization of insects], Moscow: Publishing House of the USSR Academy of Sciences, 1957, 88 p., ill.

Very interesting work. Probably the only book on this topic in russian

19.11.2017 18:21, полистес

It is worth adding work on med. entomology:

Beklemishev V. N. Ecology of the malarial mosquito. (Anopheles Maculipennis Mgn.) Moscow: Medgiz, 1944, 298 p., fig.
Textbook of medical entomology. Part 1. Edited by Prof. Beklemisheva V. N. Textbook for secondary medical institutions, Moscow: Meditsina 1949g. 490s.
Textbook of medical entomology. Part II. Medical disinsection and antimalarial hydraulic engineering. Edited by Prof. V. N. Beklemeshev. Compiled by R. G. Bertyn and V. A. Nabokov. M. Medgiz 1949. 204 p.

Shtakelberg A. A. Bibliography of malaria (epidemiology, vectors, control of malaria; organization of antimalarial business in the USSR 1771-1935). Moscow-L. 1940. 963 p.
Has anyone ever seen Stackelberg's book on sale?

I won't say anything about the topic itself (I didn't understand its purpose and objectives. frown.gif )
But if you started this, then at least put the books in alphabetical order, and add them not in new posts, but in the first message, clicking on "edit", then at least all the books that you posted will be in one message.

The purpose of the topic is to identify the most important works on entomology published in Russian, and the task is to draw attention to these works of young researchers who often do not know the history of the issue and fundamental works on their topic. By the way , I hope that forum participants will determine the importance of certain books for their work by adding new items to the list. Other comments are accepted.

This topic can turn into a catalog of personal libraries. With all due respect, I see in the list of Polistes many highly specialized books that can not be considered the most important.

Any idea in the process of implementation can turn into anything. It depends on how you approach it. As for the list , it is incomplete and quite open to discussion.
However, if the topic seems untimely, harmful or useless to forum participants, you can close it.

Read all this thoughtfully and there will be absolutely no time to work on your own topic.

Read all this thoughtfully and there will be absolutely no time to work on your own topic.

These works are designed to be read thoughtfully. Another question is whether to read everything or selectively, in the context of your specialization? But I think it will be useful for young people to orient themselves in literature.

Thank you for your clarification. After reading the initial post, I thought that you read it necessary for every domestic entomologist to study the entire list. A small note: the works of the middle of the last century on the anatomy, physiology and evolution of insects in our time are mainly of historical significance

So no one talks about their 100% relevance, but there is a lot of useful information there. Moreover, such reports (more up-to-date) were practically never published in Russian. As an example, I will cite the "Pathology of Insects" by Steinhaus. A similar summary on this topic in terms of volume and significance was published only relatively recently (Insect pathogens: structural and functional aspects: [Monograph] / [M. V. Shternshis, I. V. Issy, E. G. Voronina et al.]; Edited by V. V. Glupov. - Moscow: Round Table, 2001. - 725 p.)

Unfortunately, there is very little Russian-language literature on fundamental issues of entomology today, and there is nothing but faunalism all around. Basically, you have to learn English.

Yes, it's hard to disagree. Books on many issues are published there almost every year - not all of them are equivalent in scientific terms, but nevertheless.

A little off-topic, but a very good book:

Tereshkin A.M. Guide to the preparation of scientific illustrations in entomology on the example of riders of the family Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera), 2013

It is available in Russian and English. The network also has it.
The Russian-language edition is very beautiful.

I looked through it - it's a good thing. But alas, this is preparation for the last war. In everything that concerns the external morphology of imago, photography now rules. Much easier, faster, and most importantly-no subjectivity. And we see this in publications: in the first descriptions of species and determinants, especially by Western authors, you will find drawings less and less often, except for genitals. But with the larva, it's another matter, it's impossible to take one photo where everything will be visible. Something should be viewed from one angle, something-from another, something-live, something-after alkaline maceration. So in this area, a good drawing is still in demand. Unfortunately, there is nothing about larvae in this book. Do you know any good Russian-language literature on this topic, about the peculiarities of examining and sketching ichneumonid larvae?

20.11.2017 20:12, полистес

As far as I know, only Tereshkin works at this level. The schedule is great. He has many publications, but in English. Maybe there is something about larvae. Only this work was published in Russian and in an extremely small print run.

Works in the field of taxonomy should be illustrated
by drawings made by the author of the work, and not by photographs. The fundamental
difference between scientific drawing and photography, in our opinion, is as
follows: a photograph is only an image of an object made with
a certain degree of skill, and a drawing is primarily a graphic representation of
scientific knowledge about the object at this stage and
the author's own ideas. Based on the above, when preparing a total drawing
, the main task is to increase the emphasis on the taxonomic features
of the object, their graphic execution and moving secondary features
to the "background" while maintaining the general appearance and features of the object as a whole.
Another important condition is the graphic execution of illustrations of
objects in a single perspective, which is necessary for comparative analysis.

If the subject of our interest is the scientific knowledge of the author of the publication, then this is true. For example, images of homunculi inside sperm cells can tell a lot about the views of preformist animalculists. But if the focus of our interest lies in the field of animal morphology as an objective reality that does not depend on someone's knowledge, ignorance, visual acuity,artistic talent and mood, then this is a completely different song. Anyone who has a specimen of an insect in their hands and wants to identify it, as a rule, is interested in the second one. Who will strengthen the emphasis on the instance for him?
