Insects and Ecosystem Function (Ecological Studies, 173) - Softcover
Book 60 of 91: Ecological Studies
Synopsis
Insects are a dominant component of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems and play a key role in mediating the relationship between plants and ecosystem processes. This is the first volume to summarize their effects on ecosystem functioning, focusing mainly, but not exclusively, on herbivorous insects. Renowned authors with extensive experience in the field of plant-insect interactions, contribute to the volume using examples from their own work. In addition to providing concise reviews of the field, this volume discusses in detail the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques of manipulating insect herbivory. Thus, the text provides both a theoretical basis as well as practical advice for future manipulative studies of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning. This timely volume addresses one of the hottest areas of research in community and physiological ecology.

Review
From the reviews:
"The authors of this book have identified an important and novel area of research ... . I would recommend this book for students and researchers who wish to be introduced to the current research and future ideas regarding above and below ground insect herbivory, and the effect on plant community ecology, plant productivity and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems." (Riccardo Bommmarco, Basic and Applied Ecology, Issue 8, 2007)
