Insects inhabiting agricultural landscapes are important for crop
production as they serve as pollinators or pest-controllers.
However, their occurrence in agricultural land is limited mostly to
patchily distributed remnants of semi-natural grasslands, field
boundaries, ditch or forest edges. Furthermore, insect conservation
is relatively ignored in comparison with the so-called charismatic
megafauna, yet insects are of paramount importance for the
long-term sustainability of most terrestrial ecosystems. This book
calls attention to these detrimental management regimes which are
actively damaging woods, soil and the associated biodiversity of
insects. Artificial neural networks (ANN) structures are examined,
as well as how they work, and how they can be applied to the
increasing amount of data on the distribution and habitats of
invasive pest species. The recommended habitat management for
conserving the butterfly populations in the event of natural
disturbances is also explored. The factors which affect the
butterfly species in abandoned fields, and how abandoned fields
contribute to the number of species at the landscape scale are
looked at as well.
