Insects are the most interesting and diverse group of organisms on
earth, many of which are useful as pollinators of crops and wild
plants while others are useful as natural enemies keeping
pestiferous insects in check. It is important to conserve these
insects for our survival and for this the diversity of insect
species inhabiting the different ecosystems of our country must be
known. The cornerstone to studies of any kind of organismal
diversity is their taxonomic identity. Even after over two and half
centuries of studies, so little is known of the insect wealth of
our country. It has contributions from taxonomists who have been
studying Indian insects for long, this book offers up to date
information on many important groups of Indian insects seeking to
fill the lacuna of a long felt need for a comprehensive work on the
taxonomy of Indian insects. Salient features: Provides an
up-to-date taxonomy of major insect groups of India Presents
identification keys with illustrations of several important groups
of Indian insects Gives a new insight into why insects are so
abundant Addresses fundamental questions in mechanoreception and
cross kingdom interactions using insects as model systems Indian
Insects: Diversity and Science is a festschrift to Professor C. A.
Viraktamath, an insect taxonomist par excellence. It has been
designed to cater to the needs of academicians, researchers and
students who wish to identify insects collected from local
environments and will be an invaluable aid for those working in the
areas of systematics, ecology, behaviour, diversity and the
conservation of insects.
