About this book

Aquatic Insects of California, with Keys to North American Genera and California Species is an essential reference for scientists, researchers, and enthusiasts working in the study of aquatic insects and their role in freshwater ecosystems. This comprehensive volume bridges the gap between limnology—the study of inland waters—and entomology, providing an in-depth exploration of the central role insects play in aquatic environments. Written by leading authorities in the field, it offers detailed insights into insect ecology, stream and lake management, mosquito control, and the broader implications for fish production and aquatic health. The book aims to integrate the basic principles and methodologies of limnology with the study of insects, providing readers with identification tools through detailed illustrations, keys, and species-level information, particularly focused on the California and adjacent regional fauna. With a strong emphasis on practical identification, Aquatic Insects of California, with Keys to North American Genera and California Species is designed to overcome the historical challenges posed by the immense diversity of aquatic insect species. This volume covers a wide array of genera found across North America, making it an invaluable resource for researchers working beyond the confines of California. Each chapter is authored by experts who share original contributions and offer clear illustrations to enhance the text. As a foundational work in the field, this book equips students, professionals, and environmental managers with the necessary knowledge to understand and manage aquatic insects, ensuring the health and vitality of aquatic ecosystems.
