Insect
Ecology: An Ecosystem Approach, Fifth Edition provides the most updated and
comprehensive knowledge of the diversity of insect responses to environmental
changes and their effects on ecosystem properties and services. Written by an
expert in the field, this book addresses ways in which insect morphology,
physiology and behavior tailor their adaptation to particular environmental
conditions, how those adaptations affect their responses to environmental
changes, and how their responses affect ecosystem properties and the ecosystem
services on which humans depend for survival. This edition also addresses
recent reports of global declines in insect abundance and how these declines
could affect human interests. Insect Ecology: An Ecosystem Approach, Fifth Edition
is an important resource for researchers, entomologists, ecologists, pest
managers and conservationists who want to understand insect ecology and to
manage insects in ways that sustain the delivery of ecosystem services.
Graduate and advanced undergraduate students may also find this as a useful
resource for entomology and specifically insect ecology courses.
