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. This book examines several species of beetles and their biodiversity, ecology and role in the environment.
