Provides the first comprehensive overview of fundamental concepts of animal behavior as they relate to insects. Offers a comparative evolutionary approach that shows how major behavioral systems function. Covers the behavior of the individual insect--how it moves, orients, disperses, and feeds; also insect communication, and defensive, reproductive, and social behaviors. Case studies explore selected principles in relation to specific situations and provide examples of behavioral methodology. Contains complete, accessible references in each chapter.
