Camilla Stack 1st edition 250 pages ISBN-13: 978-1634633802 ISBN-10: 1634633806 Insects have been shown to be appropriate ecological indicators for evaluating changes in the environment. An excellent group are beetles (Coleoptera), the largest group of insects, with about four hundred thousand known species, distributed in more than a hundred families occupying practically all ecosystems and feeding on a variety food sources.
