“Entomology as a branch of biological science has undergone rapid expansion and development in recent decades. Insects play significant roles in the ecology of the world due to their vast diversity of form, function and life-style; their considerable biomass; and their interaction with plant life, other organisms and the environment. This book on Ecological Entomology provides a comprehensive view of the role and influence of insects in ecosystem. Aimed at advance undergraduate and postgraduate students in entomology and pest management, this book aims to integrate the new approaches and technologies with traditional and well-proven methods. It is believed that the book is useful not only to the entomologists, ecologists, and students of entomology, but also for naturalists, and environmental assessment specialists.”--Back cover
