In reality, relatively few insects interfere with us or our resources. Most have benign or positive effects on ecosystem services, and many represent useful resources in non-industrialized countries.

It also fosters an appreciation for the amazing diversity, adaptive ability, and natural roles of insects.The book discusses 410 0$aSocial-environmental sustainability series. 606 $aInsects$xEcology$zNorth America 606 $aEcosystem services$zNorth America 606 $aEcosystem management$zNorth America 606 $aSustainability$zNorth America 606 $aInsect pests$xControl$zNorth America 606 $aHuman ecology$zNorth America 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInsects$xEcology 615 0$aEcosystem services 615 0$aEcosystem management 615 0$aSustainability 615 0$aInsect pests$xControl 615 0$aHuman ecology 676 $a333.72 700 $aSchowalter$b Timothy Duane$f1952,$0904500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452983403321 996 $aInsects and sustainability of ecosystem services$92022439 997 $aUNINA
