Summary "Insects are a diverse, numerous and important group in aquatic habitats, occupying key functional and ecological roles. This volume brings together acknowledged experts in often disparate fields ranging from physiology and ecology to evolution. Chapters consider in a unified manner the challenges facing insect populations in the aquatic medium and how they have adapted to achieve such prominence in virtually all habitats. All stages of the life-cycle are covered and biotic, abiotic and evolutionary issues are brought together in a volume which provides an up-to-date review of research. It will be of particular use to researchers and students alike who have an interest in aquatic insects, and factors influencing their survival and success."--BOOK JACKET
