Description
"The essential volume on the biology and behavior of these remarkable insects. "This transformative work will be an inspiration to students of entomology." -- Choice The cockroach is truly an evolutionary wonder. This definitive volume provides a complete overview of suborder Blattaria, highlighting the diversity of these amazing insects in their natural environments. Beginning with a foreword by Edward O. Wilson, the book explores the fascinating natural history and behavior of cockroaches, describing their various colors, sizes, and shapes, as well as how they move on land, in water, and through the air. In addition to habitat use, diet, reproduction, and behavior, Cockroaches covers aspects of cockroach biology, such as the relationship between cockroaches and microbes, termites as social cockroaches, and the ecological impact of the suborder. With over 100 illustrations, an expanded glossary, and an invaluable set of references, this work is destined to become the classic book on the Blattaria. Students and research entomologists can mine each chapter for new ideas, new perspectives, and new directions for future study. "Well-written...visually attractive...This book is much needed to educate biologists about the fascinating biology and diversity of cockroaches." -- Integrative and Comparative Biology "A must-have for any insect hobbyest." -- Allpet Roaches Forum "This contribution is an important source of information on cockroach natural history and diversity." -- The Quarterly Review of Biology "Suitable for researchers, students, and naturalists, chapters are topical, exploring the diversity of cockroaches." -- Southeastern Naturalist"--,Provided by Freading.
