This revised and expanded text looks at how insects adapt to environmental conditions while maintaining the ability to substantially alter their environment. It covers a range of topics- from individual insects that respond to local changes in the environment and affect resource distribution, to entire insect communities that have the capacity to modify ecosystem conditions.
Responses to abiotic conditions -- Resource acquisition -- Resource allocation -- Population systems -- Population dynamics -- Biogeography -- Species interactions -- Community structure -- Community dynamics -- Ecosystem structure and function -- Herbivory -- Pollination, seed predation, and seed dispersal -- Decomposition and pedogenesis -- Insects as regulators of ecosystem processes -- Synthesis.
