DESIGNED AS AN INTRODUCTION TO THE INTRIGUING WORLD OF INSECT BIOLOGY,
this book examines familiar entomological topics in nontraditional ways. Author
David B. Rivers gives important concepts relatable context through a pop culture
lens. He also covers subjects not typically included in entomology textbooks,
including the impact of insects on the human condition, the sex lives of insects,
forensic entomology, and the threats that some insects pose to humanity.
i
Each chapter presents clear and concise key concepts, chapter reviews, review
questions following Bloom s taxonomy of learning, web links to videos and other
resources, and breakout boxes (called Fly Spots) that capture student interest
with unique and entertaining facts related to entomology. Focusing on both
traditional and cutting-edge aspects of insect biology and packed with extensive
learning resources, Insects covers a wide range of topics suitable for life science
majors, as well as non-science students, including: •
• the positive and negative influences of insects on everyday human life
• insect abundance
• insect classification (here presented in the context of social media)
• insect feeding, communication, defense, and sex
• how insects are responding to climate change
• forensic entomology
• how insects can be used as weapons of war
• how insects relate to national security
• why insects have wings
• how to read pesticide labels
