The present title insect ecology has been carefully compiled and edited to meet the long felt needs of increasingly large number of those who have to deal with the different aspects of biology of insects in colleges universities and research institutes. It provides a balanced and integrated treatment of the entire field of insect biology. The title is intelligible to the educated layman but it deals with some complex ideas. It is an adequate text for all requirements in this area for most university students. Special efforts have been made to explain ideas in non mathematical term. The primary aim through out has been clarity simplicity and the high standard. It will definitely prove to be a boon to teachers, students and research workers in the field of insect biology.
