Book, Insects Fundamentals of Entomology 5/17[LS]

Insects | Fundamentals of Entomology presents excellent content, based on scientific evidence, with entomology as a central point in the theory and practice of evolutionary and ecological studies. Indispensable as the main text for entomology students, it is also useful literature in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the areas of ecology, agriculture, fisheries and forestry engineering, paleontology, zoology and medical and veterinary sciences. Updated based on the most recent research in the area, this fifth edition has been entirely revised and has undergone several improvements, including the inclusion of new boxes and exquisite hand-drawn illustrations, the careful revision of the taxoboxes, which provide concise information about all aspects of each of the 28 main groupings (orders) of insects – in addition to the three orders of non-insect hexapods –, the intense update of the chapter Insect Systematics | Phylogeny and Classification and the inclusion of the chapter Insects in a Changing World, which addresses insect responses and their consequences in relation to climate change and global changes resulting from human activity in relation to the distribution of insects.
