Insects as Beneficials -- 2 Insects as Pests -- 3 Insects Today and in the Future -- 4 Conclusion: Hated, Threatened and Worth Protecting. . 330 $aThreatening pests or threatened beneficials? Biting midges are wonderful insects. The animals are so tiny and uniquely shaped that they are particularly good at pollinating the small and tight flowers of the cocoa tree. Without them, there would be much less chocolate. We associate other insects more with the damage that they cause. Mosquitoes and wasps bite us. Moth larvae damage textiles and contaminate foods. Ants undermine our paths and flies are just a pain. But what exactly is our relationship with insects? Are they more beneficial or harmful? What role do they play in the world? What are the effects of climate change: Will the number of insects continue to increase? This book discusses the beneficial and harmful effects of insects and explains their development and significance for biodiversity. This second, fully reviewed and enlarged, edition provides new insights, especially about the value of specific insect species that are generally seen as pests (e.g. ants and moths), as well as an extended chapter on the development of insects and especially their decline in different regions in the world, the industrialized countries in particular. Numerous info graphics show connections between changes in the environment due to human expansion and the number of insects and species. Studies from the US, Canada, Asia, Africa, Europe and Switzerland are used to point out the dramatic reduction of biodiversity. New tables illustrate these developments. The glossary as well as the insects index is extended, the text, tables, pictures and graphs provide even more well-rounded image. Readers will find the argumentation even more clearly and detailed. 410 0$aFascinating Life Sciences,$x2509-6745 606 $aLife sciences 606 $aEntomology 606 $aEcology  606 $aTechnology 606 $aPopular Life Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q25000 606 $aEntomology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090 606 $aEcology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007 606 $aApplied Science, multidisciplinary$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/A13000 606 $aInsectes$2thub 606 $aEntomologia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aLife sciences. 615 0$aEntomology. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aTechnology. 615 14$aPopular Life Sciences. 615 24$aEntomology. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aApplied Science, multidisciplinary. 615 7$aInsectes 615 7$aEntomologia 676 $a570 700 $aReckhaus$b Hans-Dietrich$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0892732 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349438103321 996 $aWhy Every Fly Counts$91993999 997 $aUNINA
