Insect Biodiversity: From Individual Organisms to Broad-Scale Views analyzes the diversity of insects, starting from the intra-specific level to the largest scale of macroecology. It presents an assessment of insects as the most megadiverse living group and uses this as a model to describe the range of biodiversity from individuals to a global scale.
Written and edited by expert researchers in insect biodiversity, this book begins by setting definitions of biodiversity, following by a description of the main characteristics of each insect order. In this section, special attention is given to the functional diversity, or lifestyles, and the most important ecosystem services provided by each order. The second part of the book demonstrates how insect biodiversity is organized from individual differences to differentiation among communities and ecosystems globally.
Insect Biodiversity: From Individual Organisms to Broad-Scale Views is the ideal resource for entomologists concerned with biodiversity and its conservation. This book also provides students in advanced entomology and conservation courses with a new look at the widespread range and purpose of insect biodiversity.
