First sentence: In this chapter we provide a brief overview of the major concepts in insect ecology, and attempt to present a taste of what is to come in the nine detailed chapters that follow.
Description: "This textbook strikes a balance between theory and practice, and between pure and applied ecology. In presenting the basic themes of insect ecology, it provides a sound background in evolutionary ecology, population dynamics and environmental interactions. These concepts are subsequently applied to a number of topical issues including climate change, the conservation of biodiversity, epidemiology and pest management."--BOOK JACKET.

"Based on a wealth of international teaching expertise, Ecology of Insects is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in insect ecology and applied entomology, as well as wider degree programmes in biology, general ecology, zoology, forestry and agriculture."--BOOK JACKET.
