Chapters build on fundamental information to show how insect populations respond to changing environmental conditions, including spatial and temporal distribution of food and habitat. The next section integrates populations of interacting species within communities and how these interactions determine structure of communities over time and space. Other works in insect ecology stop there, essentially limiting presentation of insect ecology to evolutionary responses of insects to their environment, including the activities of other species. The unique aspect of this book is its four chapters on ecosystem structure and function, and how herbivores, pollinators, seed predators, and detritivores drive ecosystem dynamics and contribute to ecosystem stability. 0aInsectsxEcology. 7aSCIENCExLife SciencesxZoologyxGeneral.2bisacsh 7aInsectsxEcology.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00974103 4aElectronic books.403ScienceDirectuhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128030332
