Supplement volumes to Crustaceana, a leading journal on crustacean research, first published with Brill in 1960.
Editorial Board / Council Member:
The European Forest Institute (EFI) conducts forest research, compiles forest information and organises meetings on a European scale in order to promote the conservation and sustainable management of forests in Europe. EFI's mission is to promote, conduct and co-operate in research of forests, forestry and forest products at the pan-European level; and to make the results of the research known to all interested parties, notably in the areas of policy formulation and implementation.

European Forest Institute Research Reports are reports of final results of EFI projects. These reports are peer-reviewed by three external reviewers chosen by EFI's Scientific Advisory Board:
Prof. Dr Frits Mohren, The Netherlands, Chairman
Prof. E.P. Farrell, Ireland
Dr Eeva Hellström, Finland
Dr David Humphreys, United Kingdom
Ass. Prof. Dr Elena G. Kulikova, Russian Federation
Prof. Dr Jari Kuuluvainen, Finland
Prof. Davide Pettenella, Italy
Prof. Dr Hubert Sterba, Austria
Prof. Göran Ståhl, Sweden
Ass. Prof. Dr Margarida Tomé, Portugal

Information on Research Reports volume 1 to 7 can be found at EFI’s website: www.efi.int.
Information on Research Reports volume 8 and higher can be obtained from Brill and EFI.
The Philosophy of Friedrich Engels and Nineteenth Century Science
Editor / Translator:
What is the nature of the ‘laws’ that Marx and Engels sought to formulate for the development of capitalism? How to understand and judge Engels's attempt to formulate a general philosophy and worldview? These are the questions highlighted in this magnificent work that situates Marx and Engels’s writing against the background of the entire nineteenth-century world of scientific problems, from physics to historiography.

One of the major contributions to scholarship on Marx, Engels and nineteenth-century science, Liedman’s work is here presented in English translation and with a new preface by the author.
Root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne represent one of the most damaging and agricultural important group of plant-parasitic nematodes. These nematodes are obligate sedentary endoparasites infecting most species of higher plants and have a cosmopolitan distribution. Annual worldwide economic losses due to nematode infection of crops have been estimated at several hundred billion US dollars. This book is the first complete illustrated compendium of root-knot nematode species and contains 98 species descriptions with comprehensive diagnoses, information on biology, plant-hosts, pathogenicity, symptoms, distribution and biochemical and molecular diagnostics. It also includes introductions into morphology, biology, biogeography, genomics, phylogeny and host-parasite relationships of root-knot nematodes.
Dorylaims are probably the most diverse order of nematodes and are often an abundant component of the fauna in soils and freshwater habitats. As a result of their widespread distribution and many different feeding habits, they are considered as good bio-indicators of environmental quality and soil health. Their usefulness in this regard is only impeded by practical difficulties related to the accurate identification of the members of such a large and complex group. In this volume, Professor Reyes Peña-Santiago gives a detailed morphology of the dorylaims and provides a thorough overview of their feeding behaviour, reproduction, ecology, and diversity. You will learn what dorylaims are like and how they live, making this book an invaluable tool for nematologists, ecologists and other scientists who wish to embark on an in-depth study of the members of this fascinating group.
This book is the first comprehensive work on oriental Notodontidae (Lepidoptera) outside mainland Asia. The studied area includes also Borneo Island, the Malayan Peninsula, entire New Guinea with adjacent islands. All species are illustrated in both sexes with a total number of 1272 specimens on 51 colour plates. Genitalia photos of both sexes as well as detailed distribution maps are provided for each species.
The book deals in the first volume with 298 species and contains descriptions of 99 new notodontid taxa. A second volume will treat with the remaining 160 species and include also a comprehensive biogeographic analysis.
