Ecological Entomology
One of the principal aims in writing this book pertains to the increasing impact of human influence on natural habitats in recent in recent years, more notably to the loss of habital quality. Increased urbanization, considerable reducation in natural forest areas, changing ecology of fresh water ecosystems, lakes and wet lands, besides changing microhabitats, have had their impact on insect populations. Awide range of responses exits among several species of insects living in these changing environments, more especially landscape dynamics creating a shifting mosaic of habitats. Futher, loss of habitat dynamics creating a growth rate, in course of time resulting in a reducation or extinction of species. As such, a basic understanding of the nature of habital loss and fragmentation and their impact on insect species dynamics become important.
