India being one of the top twelve mega biodiversity countries in the world the increasing rate of erosion of biodiversity has been causing great concern. Because of socio economic changes biological diversity has to come to occupying the central stage as it holds the key to the maintenance of the world. Biodiversity is a multifaceted science bringing the ecologist and environmentalist together resulting in an interdisciplinary subject. Issues like ecosystem dynamics global changes and impact of the loss of biodiversity at various levels such as local national and global levels have become important. As a result of the loss of genes species and ecosystems the need for conservation of biological systems has come to be increasingly recognised. The need to understand traditional ecological knowledge for managing biodiversity by the local people has also come to be appreciated. The book therefore attempts to provide an overall emphasis of diverse aspects of animal biodiversity including soil vectors of animal and plant diseases agroecosystem diversity forest biodiversity marine fresh water and island biodiversity. The impact of taxonomy biotechnology and remote sensing besides the conservation and management of biodiversity has also been briefly discussed. 264 pp.

Microhabitats community diversity and mutualistic interactions. 4. Insect communities in forests and agroecosystems. 5. Biological and ecological inputs in relation to insect sociality. 6. Cecidogenous insects diversity biological and ecological interactions. 7. Invasive insects. 8. Ecology of weed infesting insect communities and impact on crops. 9. Insect guilds structure and function. 10. Insect and climate change. 11. Overview. Selected references. From the Preface This book aims at an understanding of diverse mutualistic interactions with all individuals tending to display their own adaptational ranges. In view of different species using different kinds of microhabitats the diversity of assemblages goes a long way towards a better appreciation of the adaptive trends of the species involved therein. Insect assemblages and communities are shaped by the compositional structural and trophic interactions which hold together ecological communities. This book comprises 11 chapters the first three of which being essentially introduction with aspects such as ecological diversity and biotic interactions species aggregations and communities and nature of biotic interactions and the impact of habitat loss and fragmentation on insect communities. With the establishment of these three basic inputs it becomes easier to appreciate the nature of microhabitats their diversity ecological and functional interactions as well as the ecology of mutualistic interactions involving reciprocal benefits at individual/population levels highlighting the diversity of such mutualistic associations such as that of ants aphids ants coccids ants whiteflies and ants membracids. Chapter IV deals with insect communities in natural and plantation forests and in agroecosystems. Emphasis is made on the wide range of responses among myriad species in natural forests to changes in forest quality. Similarly agroecosystems being ecological and socio economic systems the implications of such large populations of insect pest species are assessed. Chapter V deals with biological and ecological inputs in relation to insect sociality involving ants bees wasps and termites. Chapter VI discusses the adaptive dynamics of insect induced galling systems. Chapter VII deals with the ecology invasive insects. Chapter VIII outlines the diversity of interactions involved in insects infesting weeds. Chapter IX briefly outlines the functional aspects of insect guilds. The last chapter X deals with the climatic influence on insects communities. This is followed by a short overview followed by references. 132 pp.

From the preface One of the principal aims in writing this book pertains to the increasing impact of human influence on natural habitats in recent years more notably to the loss of habitat quality. Increased urbanization considerable reduction in natural forest areas changing ecology of fresh water ecosystems lakes and wet lands besides changing microhabitats have had their impact on insect populations. A wide range of responses exist among several species of insects living in these changing environments more especially landscape dynamics creating a shifting mosaic of habitats. Further loss of habitat quality decreases population growth rate in course of time resulting in a reduction or extinction of species. Sudden changes in the extent or quality of habitat tend to influence the behaviour reproduction and survival of individuals. In very rare cases the existence of a particular species depends on the presence of some other species not to mention of the extinction of food chains. As such a basic understanding of the nature of habitat loss and fragmentation and their impact on insect species dynamics become important. 142 pp.
