What exactly is our relationship with insects? Are they more
beneficial or harmful? What role do they play in the world? What
are the effects of climate change: Will the number of insects
continue to increase? This book discusses the beneficial and
harmful effects of insects and explains their development and
significance for biodiversity. This second, fully reviewed and
enlarged, edition provides new insights, especially about the value
of specific insect species that are generally seen as pests (e.g.
ants and moths), as well as an extended chapter on the development
of insects and especially their decline in different regions in the
world, the industrialized countries in particular. Numerous info
graphics show connections between changes in the environment due to
human expansion and the number of insects and species. Studies from
the US, Canada, Asia, Africa, Europe and Switzerland are used to
point out the dramatic reduction of biodiversity. New tables
illustrate these developments. The glossary as well as the insects
index is extended, the text, tables, pictures and graphs provide
even more well-rounded image. Readers will find the argumentation
even more clearly and detailed.
