The Encyclopedia of Insects is a complete source of information
on the subject of insects, contained within a single volume.
Each article in the Encyclopedia provides an overview of the
selected topic to inform a broad spectrum of readers, from
insect biologists and scientists conducting research in related
areas, to students and the interested general public.
In order that you, the reader, will derive the maximum
benefit from the Encyclopedia of Insects, we have provided this
Guide. It explains how the book is organized and how the
information within its pages can be located.
SUBJECT AREAS
The Encyclopedia of Insects presents 271 separate articles on
the entire range of entomological study. Articles in the Encyclopedia
fall within twelve general subject areas, as follows:
• Anatomy
• Physiology
• Behavior
• Evolution
• Reproduction
• Development and Metamorphosis
• Major Groups and Notable Forms
• Interactions with Other Organisms
• Interactions with Humans
• Habitats
• Ecology
• History and Methodology
ORGANIZATION
The Encyclopedia of Insects is organized to provide the maximum
ease of use for its readers. All of the articles are arranged in a
single alphabetical sequence by title. An alphabetical Table of
Contents for the articles can be found beginning on p. v of
this introductory section.
As a reader of the Encyclopedia, you can use this alphabetical
Table of Contents by itself to locate a topic. Or you can first
identify the topic in the Contents by Subject Area (p. xiii) and
then go to the alphabetical Table to find the page location.
So that they can be more easily identified, article titles begin
with the key word or phrase indicating the topic, with any
descriptive terms following this. For example, “Temperature,
Effects on Development and Growth” is the title assigned to
this article, rather than “Effects of Temperature on Development
and Growth,” because the specific term Temperature is
the key word.
