内容説明

Environmental change has been seen as an increasingly focused area for ecological study and one for which insect populations can act as a sensitive indicator. This latest volume in the "RESL Symposium Series" offers papers focusing on change in climate, pollution and atmosphere, and land use, and their impact on insect populations and distribution.
