Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the course of evolution, insects have developed an almost unbelievable variety of shapes and functional sophistication. The design of their exoskeleton is so imaginative and unusual, often even bizarre, that one can only marvel. The fact that insects can find design solutions for any problem, no matter how special, makes them extremely successful. They have thus become crucial links in the complex networks of nature. Impressive macro photographs and informative scanning electron-optical images provide an insight into the wealth of forms, beauty and function of the six-legged creatures. Fascinating texts accompany the pictures and explain, among other things, how the great diving beetle uses vertebrate hormones as knock-out drops when attacked by fish, the pine moth beetle locates distant forest fires, the bombardier beetle emits pulsed explosions with its firing apparatus or the blue butterfly caterpillar glamours ants. Insects play a crucial role in the ecosystems of our planet. Man-made environmental destruction is interfering with these cycles in a sensitive way. This endangers the survival of insects, with dramatic consequences for us humans as well. Fascinating texts accompany the pictures and explain, among other things, how the great diving beetle uses vertebrate hormones as knock-out drops when attacked by fish, the pine moth beetle locates distant forest fires, the bombardier beetle emits pulsed explosions with its firing apparatus or the blue butterfly caterpillar glamours ants.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Im Laufe der Evolution haben die Insekten eine schier unglaubliche Formenvielfalt und funktionelle Raffinesse entwickelt. Das Design ihres Außenskeletts ist so phantasievoll und ungewöhnlich, oft auch bizarr, dass man nur staunen kann. Dass Insekten für jedes noch so spezielle Problem Konstruktionslösungen finden können, macht sie überaus erfolgreich. Sie wurden so zu entscheidenden Bindegliedern in den komplexen Netzwerken der Natur. Beindruckende Makroaufnahmen und informative rasterelektronenoptische Bilder geben einen Einblick in Formenreichtum, Schönheit und Funktion der Sechsbeiner. Spannende Texte begleiten die Bilder und erklären u.a. wie der Gelbrandkäfer Wirbeltierhormone als K.O.-Tropfen einsetzt, wenn er von Fischen angegriffen wird, der Kiefernprachtkäfer weit entfernte Waldbrände lokalisiert, der Bombardierkäfer mit seinem Schussapparat gepulste Explosionen abgibt oder die Bläulingsraupe Ameisen bezirzt. In den Ökosystemen unseres Planeten spielen die Insekten eine entscheidende Rolle. Die menschengemachte Umweltzerstörung greift empfindlich in diese Kreisläufe ein. Das gefährdet das Überleben der Insekten, mit dramatischen Auswirkungen auch für uns Menschen.
