Insects are the most ecologically important multicellular
heterotrophs in terrestrial systems. They play critical roles in
ecological food webs, remain devastating agricultural and medical
pests, and represent the most diverse group of eukaryotes in terms
of species numbers. Their dominant role among terrestrial
heterotrophs arises from a number of key physiological traits, and
in particular by the developmental and evolutionary plasticity of
these traits. Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Insects
presents a current and comprehensive overview of how the key
physiological traits of insects respond to environmental variation.
It forges conceptual links from molecular biology through
organismal function to population and community ecology. As with
other books in the Series, the emphasis is on the unique
physiological characteristics of the insects, but with applications
to questions of broad relevance in physiological ecology. As an aid
to new researchers on insects, it also includes introductory
chapters on the basics and techniques of insect physiology ecology.
