Dytiscids constitute one of the largest families of freshwater insects with approximately 4,200 named species that come in a variety of sizes, colors, and habitat affinities. Although dytiscid adults and larvae are ubiquitous throughout a variety of aquatic habitats, and are important predators on other aquatic invertebrates and vertebrates, there are no compilations that have focused on summarizing the knowledge on aspects of their ecology, systematics, and biology. Chapters in this book summarize hitherto scattered topics, including their anatomy and habitats, chemical and community ecology, phylogenies and larval morphology including chaetotaxy, sexual systems, predation, dispersal, conservation, and cultural and historical aspects. This knowledge is potentially beneficial to anyone working in aquatic systems where dytiscids are an important part of the food web. Moreover, readers will gain a greater appreciation of dytiscids as model organisms for investigations of fundamental principles derived from ecological and evolutionary theory. Contributed chapters are by authors who are actively engaged in studying dytiscids, and each chapter provides color photos and future directions for research. . 606 $aEntomology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aAnimal physiology 606 $aAquatic ecology  606 $aEntomology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aAnimal Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030 606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 615 0$aEntomology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 0$aAnimal physiology. 615 0$aAquatic ecology . 615 14$aEntomology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 676 $a595.762 702 $aYee$b Donald A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298350103321 996 $aEcology, Systematics, and the Natural History of Predaceous Diving Beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)$92537301 997 $aUNINA
