1912. The Principal Cactus Insects of the United States. U. S. Dept. Agr., Bur. Ent., Bull. No. 113. pp. 71.
In addition to the insects feeding upon cacti, their enemies or parasites are listed and also the scavengers, flower visitors, and incidentally associated species. This is a social community composed of 324 species of insects, and it forms an excellent foundation for a study of their interrelations. This is more ecological than is usually the case in economic reports.
Möller, L.
1867. Die Abhängigkeit der Insecten von ihrer Umgebung. pp. 107. Leipzig. W. Englemann.
A very interesting and suggestive work. An excellent local habitat study from the standpoint of insects. Apparently not known to Dahl (’98, ’03) in his brief outline of the history of ecology. Möller discusses the influence of climate, soil, plants, animal substances and man upon insects, and the influence of insects in the economy of nature.
Lorenz, J. R.
1863. Physicalische Verhältnisse und Vertheilung der Organismen im Quarnerischen Golfe. pp. 379. Wien.
An early and important study of the habitat and the plants and animals associated in the marine habitats. Apparently but little known. Also not mentioned by Dahl (’98, ’03).
