Insects represent the most abundant and diverse animal group on
Earth. The number of described species is more than one million and
up to ten million are estimated. Insects have one of the widest
distributions in the world because they have adapted to extreme
ranges of environments. Molecular ecology studies ecological
processes based on the analysis of biomacromolecules, particularly
DNA, RNA, and proteins, but also of low-molecular weight signal
compounds. Molecular ecology uses the exciting opportunities
offered by the tools of molecular biology. The book presents
current entomological research, where molecular tools help to
advance traditional ecological studies. Chapters include ones on
insect-insect and insect-plant interactions, on mechanisms of
environmental adaptation, or on the use of insect biotechnology in
pest and vector control. The book helps to combine powerful methods
in molecular biology with exciting issues in ecology to understand
why insects became "masters of survival."
