They are found on all continents, in caves, underground, inside other insects, in rivers, lakes, puddles, and in our houses. To date, over a million insect species have been named. In this Very Short Introduction, Simon Leather explores insects' evolution, behaviour, and development, highlighting their pivotal role in supporting ecosystems across the planet. He considers the threats of environmental change, including climate change, to insects globally and the potentially catastrophic impact of insect population declines. 650 0 $a Insects. 650 0 $a Insects $x Behavior. 650 0 $a Insects $x Ecology. 830 0 $a Very short introductions ; $v 709. 941 $a 2 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710062358.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100423.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A5B229690B411ED96A3A87826ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
