Summary In addition to being critical components of terrestrial ecosystems, insects provide excellent model systems for understanding evolutionary ecology. This book is developed from proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society's 22nd international symposium, held in Reading in 2003
Notes "The 21st [sic] Symposium of the Royal Entomological Society"--Introduction
"As there was no 21st Symposium volume produced due to the lack of papers presented to make a volume, a 'Special issue - Insects and disease' of Physiological entomology has been produced"--The Society's Web site
