ISBN 13 : 9780520012936 Note: Very amusing bookplate on the inside from cover. ABOUT THE BOOKIt is the purpose of this study to point out the central role of insects in aquatic situations, to bring to bear on insects the basic concepts and tools of limnology, and to provide keys and illustrations to aid in the identification of aquatic insects. It is probably this last aspect of the subject that has been the greatest stumbling block to progress in the past. Insects comprise about four-fifths of the Animal Kingdom, and only time and intensive research can overcome the obstacle of such numbers of species. Because of limitations of time, space, and size it has been necessary to restrict the treatment at the species level to California and adjacent regions. However, the California fauna is fairly representative of much of the western United States because of the diverse elements that are included within the geographical boundaries of the state. At the generic level a more comprehensive treatment was feasible, so keys are given to all the genera known from North America. CONTENTS - INTRODUCTION
