Not only their taxonomy and morphology, but also their potential implications on natural sciences are presented here. Besides academic science, we highlight popular science by providing information on extant insects and insect-related stories. Elegant and beautiful photos of fossil and extant insects are shown to illustrate our stories while serving as visual arts. In addition to the 18 insect orders (Chapters 5 to 22), the book also covers fossil sites (1 and 4), palaeogeology (2), co-existing animals and plants (3), palaeo-ecosystems (23), pollination and "flower" visits (24) and insect mimicry (25). Judging by the high diversity and the large population of the fossil insects, insects have certainly played critical roles in the evolution and eco-systems over eons, which in turn have made Insecta a highly successful class. Intended to appeal to a broad spectrum of readers (such as palaeontologists, entomologists, evolutionists, palaeoecologists, fossil collectors, naturalists, hobbyists and students), we hope that readers will have fun while gaining new understanding and enjoying the artistic presentations. New fossil findings and further studies will continue to expand knowledge and deepen understanding in these fields. Getting young readers of this book to be interested in these fields, we hope some of them will be inspired to become entomologists or palaeontologists to make their contribution to natural sciences. 图书目录Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 The Upper Mesozoic Stratigraphic Characteristics in Northeastern China Chapter 3 Well-Balanced Eco-systems Chapter 4 Insects——On the Spot Light Chapter 5 Ephemeroptera A Short Life to Live Chapter 6 Odonata——Terminators with Wings Chapter 7 Plecoptera——Indicator of Water Quality Chapter 8 Blattodea——Survivors of the Fittest Chapter 9 Grylloblattodea——Rare Living Fossils Chapter 10 Dermaptera——Mystery at Night Chapter 11 Orthoptera The Sound of Chirping Chapter 12 Chresmodidae——Slding on Water Chapter 13 Phasmatodea——Swaying in the Wind Chapter 14 Homoptera——17Years Underground Chapter 15 Heteroptera Smelly Defense or Piercing Offense Chapter 16 Raphidioptera Looking Out and Looking Forward Chapter 17 Neuroptera——Grace with Lace Chapter 18 Coleoptera Sacred, Precious and Strong Chapter 19 Mecoptera Stinger without the Sting Chapter 20 Diptera——"Vampires" for Dinosaurs Chapter 21 Trichoptera——Mobile Home Builder Chapter 22 Hymenoptera——Pollinators' Contribution Chapter 23 Reconstruction of Palaeoecology for Insect Faunas Chapter 24 Pollination and "Flower" Visits Chapter 25 Mimicry. |
