Insects are one of the most diverse and numerous groups of organisms on the planet - as many as 30 million species exist, most of which are still undescribed. They are also extremely sensitive to environmental change. They are often therefore key indicators of the degradation of an ecosystem. This book presents a series of papers from an international team of entomologists and conservationists.
