Their importance is exemplified in a broad global overview of a major category of interactions, mutualisms, in which the interdependence of species is essential for their mutual wellbeing. The subtleties that sustain many mutualistic relationships are still poorly understood by ecologists and conservation managers alike. Examples from many parts of the world and ecological regimes demonstrate the variety of mutualisms between insect taxa, and between insects and plants, in particular, and their significance in planning and undertaking insect conservation ? of both individual species and the wider contexts on which they depend. Several taxonomic groups, notably ants, lycaenid butterflies and sucking bugs, help to demonstrate the evolution and flexibility of mutualistic interactions, whilst fundamental processes such as pollination emphasise the central roles of, often, highly specific partnerships. This compilation brings together a wide range of relevant cases and contexts, with implications for practical insect conservation and increasing awareness of the roles of co-adaptations of behaviour and ecology as adjuncts to designing optimal conservation plans. The three major themes deal with the meanings and mechanisms of mutualisms, the classic mutualisms that involve insect partners, and the environmental and conservation lessons that flow from these and have potential to facilitate and improve insect conservation practice. The broader ecological perspective advances the transition from primary focus on single species toward consequently enhancing wider ecological contexts in which insect diversity can thrive. 606 $aEntomology 606 $aApplied ecology 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aEntomology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090 606 $aApplied Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 615 0$aEntomology. 615 0$aApplied ecology. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aEntomology. 615 24$aApplied Ecology. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 676 $a333.955 700 $aNew$b Tim R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0872813 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253921603321 996 $aMutualisms and Insect Conservation$92234121 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01399nam0 22003131i 450 001 UON00070328 005 20231205102348.196 010 $a03-13-26224-1 100 $a20020107d1988 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aUS 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aFrom folklore to fiction$eA study of folk heroes and rituals in the black American novel$fH.
