  • "El texto ofrece una introducción estimulante e integral a los insectos, los animales que representan más de la mitad de la diversidad biológica del planeta. En esta nueva cuarta edición, los autores presentan las principales características de la estructura de los insectos, la función, el comportamiento, la ecología y la clasificación, situados dentro de las últimas ideas sobre la evolución de los insectos. Gran parte del libro se organiza en torno a los principales temas biológicos - que viven en el suelo, en el agua, en las plantas, en las colonias, y como depredadores, parásitos / parasitoides y presas."

  • "TO ACCESS THE ARTWORK FROM THE BOOK, PLEASE VISIT www.blackwellpublishing.com/gullan. This established and popular textbook is the definitive guide to the study of insects; a group of animals that represent over half of the planet's biological diversity.Completely updated and expanded, this new edition examines all aspects of insect biology including anatomy and physiology, ecology and evolution of insects, insect behaviours such as sociality, predation, parasitism and defense, medical and veterinary entomology and methods of collection, preserving and identifying insects. Features new chapter."
  • "This text book starts with general entomological issues, surveying the significance of insects, their internal and external structure and how they reproduce, develop and sense their environment. Key features in the success of insects are explored in a phylogenetic interpretation of their evolution. Major themes in insect biology follow: the ecology of ground-dwelling, aquatic and plant-feeding insects, and their social, predatory, parasitic and defensive behaviour. Special consideration is given to insects in medical, veterinary and agricultural science, and to pest management."
  • "Insects represent over half of the planet's biological diversity. This popular textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to this extraordinary diversity, and places entomology central to the theory and practice of evolutionary and ecological studies. Fully revised, this fifth edition opens with a chapter concerning the popular side of insect studies, including insects in citizen science, zoos and butterfly houses, and insects as food for humans and animals. Key features of insectstructure, function, behaviour, ecology and classification are integrated with appropriate molecular studies."@en

A strong evolutionary theme is maintained throughout. The ever-growing economic importance of insects is emphasized in new boxes on insect pests, and in chapters on medical and veterinary entomology, and pest management. Updated 'taxoboxes' provide concise information on all aspects of each of the 27 major groupings (orders) of insects."@en
