Aquatic Insects of Freshwater EcosystemsThis comprehensive volume explores the vital world of aquatic insects-among the most diverse and ecologically important inhabitants of freshwater ecosystems. Spanning twelve chapters, it examines their biodiversity, functional roles, and value as bioindicators of water quality, alongside their complex interactions with algae, macrophytes, predators, parasites, and vertebrates.Covering major orders including Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, the book addresses environmental drivers, climate change impacts, sampling methods, and quantitative research approaches. Dedicated chapters tackle predaceous species, emerging contaminants, DNA-based monitoring, artificial intelligence, and the management implications of aquatic insect pests and disease vectors.Written for researchers, students, and water quality managers, this first edition offers a timely synthesis of aquatic entomology, highlighting both ecological significance and practical applications in freshwater conservation and public health.
