This established and popular textbook is the definitive guide to the study of insects; a group of animals that represent over half of the planet’s biological diversity.

- Features new chapters on the methods and results of studies of insect phylogeny and a new review of insect evolution and biogeography.
- Includes expanded sections on species diversity, social behaviour, pest management, aquatic entomology, parasitology and medical entomology.
- Successful strategies in insect conservation are also covered for the first time, reflecting the increasing threat to natural ecosystems from environmental changes.
