Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores organisms that make up the most diverse animal group on the planet: Insects. It takes a biological approach to the subject, emphasizing function and behavior over detailed structural description. Insects' living cells, feeding and breathing systems, reproduction and transformation, and social life are examined, along with the subject's history and evolutionary path. The author explores how insects affect plants and other organisms, including humans, as well as their role as disease carriers. Of particular interest is the authorâs focus on the ways in which insects have adapted to different environments, from aquatic to aerial habitats. The book concludes with an overview of the significance of the topic of study and its relevance to our understanding of the natural world.
