Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Insects display a staggering diversity of behaviors. Studying these systems provides insights into a wide range of ecological, evolutionary, and behavioral questions including the genetics of behavior, phenotypic plasticity, chemical communication, and the evolution of life-history traits. This accessible text offers a new approach that provides the reader with the necessary theoretical and conceptual foundations, at different hierarchical levels, to understandinsect behavior. The book is divided into three main sections: mechanisms, ecological and evolutionary consequences, and applied issues. The final section places the preceding chapters within a frameworkof current threats to human survival - climate change, disease, and food security - before providing suggestions and insights as to how we can utilize an understanding of insect behavior to control and/or ameliorate them. Each chapter provides a concise, authoritative review of the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological foundations of each topic. This edited volume offers a new approach that will provide readers with the theoretical and conceptual foundations, at different hierarchical levels, to understand insect behavior.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Anthropogenic climate change is the defining environmental challenge of this century, posing an existential threat not only to humans but also to the vast array of plants and animals that inhabit our planet. Among these, insects reign as the largest and most diverse group of organisms, playing critical roles in nutrient cycling, pollination, seed dispersal, and population control of other species. Additionally, they serve as a vital food source for various taxa andact as vectors for numerous human diseases.This comprehensive but accessible text delves into the intricate world of these remarkable creatures, with a focus extending beyondeconomically or medically significant species to encompass non-model organisms. In so doing, it uncovers valuable insights into the implications posed by climate change on global insect populations. The book reviews the conceptual approaches and most significant advances in our current understanding of insect physiology, genetics, ecology, evolution, and conservation within the ongoing and rapidly developing context of global anthropogenic climate change. In addition to presenting historicalinformation about climate change effects on insects, it synthesizes the available knowledge concerning the impact of climate change on insect populations, communities, and ecosystem processes.Furthermore, it identifies the most relevant topics and promising methodological approaches for further research in this crucial field.Effects of Climate Change on Insects has been written to engage a diverse audience, catering to the curiosity of both students and researchers seeking knowledge on the critical subject of insect responses to climate change. As the field continues to grow in importance, it will be an indispensable resource for anyone seeking tocomprehend the intricate interplay between these fascinating creatures and our ever-changing world. An advanced textbook that reviews the conceptual approaches and the most important advances in our current understanding of insect physiology, ecology, evolution and conservation, in the ongoing and rapidly developing context of global anthropogenic climate change.
