Introduction To Forest And Shade Tree Insects
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

This comprehenisive text approaches the subject from an ecological/evolutionary biological perspective. The assumption is that one cannot study forest insects without understanding the dynamics of the relationship between an insect and its host plant. This relationship includes knowing what factors control forest insect populations such as food, food quality, tree vigor, host selection, and symbiotic relationships. The authors also discuss tree-injuring insects from the perspective of their influence on tree physiology and growth as well as economic and commercial effects. The book represents a "modern" approach to the topic of forest and shade tree insects; is well-illustrated; and includes a comprehensive primary reference list.

I like this book. It's all has black and white photos and illustrations, but it's a good book. It's another bug/insect book to go with my other bug/insect books. When I was just flipping through it, I came across a bug I hadn't identified yet. I would recommend it.
