Forests and insects - Allan D. Watt

This book covers the full breadth of forest entomology. It
combines the work of forest entomologists working on the impact and
management of forest pests with those involved in diversity assessment
and conservation of insects in forests. Forests and Insects
demonstrates that both these disciplines demand an understanding of
population and community biology.

The book covers such topics as colonization of trees by insects,
population dynamics of forest insects, insect natural enemies, the
effects of climate change and pollution on forest pests, spatial
variation in the abundance of insects,the mineralization of carbon by
termites, the impact of herbivorous insects, and the conservation of
forest insect diversity, including the effects of forest fragmentation
and deforestation.

This Royal Entomological Society Symposium volume will be of great
interest to all agricultural and forest entomologists, population and
community biologists, pest management specialists and anyone concerned
with the conservation of forest biodiversity.
