Synopsis
Extensively revised and reorganized, the second edition of Introduction to Insect Biology and Diversity serves as an ideal text for courses in general entomology with laboratory sections. Written for students who have completed an introductory course in biology, it provides an in-depth treatment of both the biology of insects and their classification, including keys for identification for over four hundred families. The common insects of North America are discussed as well as species found elsewhere in the world. Parts I and II provide reading material for lectures: Part I: Insects as Organisms, covers morphology, physiology, and behavior, including social behavior. Part II: Insect Ecology, begins with population biology and includes chapters on insects in relation to their environments and pest management. Part III, Insect Diversity, provides source material for the laboratory. The classification of insects, their evolution, and fossil record are discussed first, followed by coverage of each order in terms of general biology and ecology, keys for identification of families, and, in some chapters, discussion of the biologies of families. All insect orders and over four hundred families of insects are treated. This second edition features new chapters on population biology, insects and microbes, pest management, and methods for making an insect collection. It is illustrated with new line drawings by Barbara Boole Daly and many new photographs, including 48 in color, by Edward S. Ross. A unique feature in a text of this kind, these color photographs allow students to witness a variety of life forms and habits that they normally would not have the opportunity to observe in nature., Introduction to Insect Biology and Diversity is a text for courses in general entomology with laboratory. It was written for students who have completed introductory biology. Both biology and classification are treated in depth including keys for identification of over four hundred families. Additional features are chapters on population biology, pest management, and methods for collecting insects. The text is illustrated with numerous line drawings by Barbara B. Daly and features photographs by Edward S. Ross.

- k***7 (32)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseProduct delivery was not accurate. My package sat at one facility for over 3 days without any further delivery details. After multiple emails to the seller who was at least trying to help me. I do understand once it leaves the seller they have no control over the situation of delivery. That is why I am giving the seller 5 Stars because it was not their fault or responsibility. I did receive my package in great condition and would buy from the seller again.
