Insect Evolutionary Ecology : Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society's 22nd Symposium /

In addition to being critical components of terrestrial ecosystems, insects provide excellent model systems for understanding evolutionary ecology. This book is developed from proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society's 22nd international symposium, held in Reading in 2003.
