Insects display a staggering diversity of behaviors. Studying these
systems provides insights into a wide range of ecological,
evolutionary, and behavioral questions including the genetics of
behavior, phenotypic plasticity, chemical communication, and the
evolution of life-history traits. This accessible text offers a new
approach that provides the reader with the necessary theoretical
and conceptual foundations, at different hierarchical levels, to
understand insect behavior. The book is divided into three main
sections: mechanisms, ecological and evolutionary consequences, and
applied issues. The final section places the preceding chapters
within a framework of current threats to human survival - climate
change, disease, and food security - before providing suggestions
and insights as to how we can utilize an understanding of insect
behavior to control and/or ameliorate them. Each chapter provides a
concise, authoritative review of the conceptual, theoretical, and
methodological foundations of each topic.
