It covers not only their taxonomy and morphology, but also their potential implications on natural sciences, such as phylogeny, function, interaction, evolution, and ecology. It covers fossil sites; paleogeology; co-existing animals and plants in well-balanced eco-systems; insects in the spotlight; morphological evolution and functional development; and interactions of insects with co-existing plants, vertebrates, and other insects. The book also includes many elegant and beautiful photographs, line drawings, and 3-D reconstructions of fossilized and extant insects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRhythms of Insect Evolution: Evidence from the Jurassic and Cretaceous in Northern China\u003c\/i\u003e features chapter coverage of such insects as the: Ephemeroptera; Odonata; Blattaria; Isoptera; Orthoptera; Notoptera; Dermaptera; Chresmodidae; Phasmatodea; Plecoptera; Psocoptera; Homoptera; Heteroptera; Megaloptera; Raphidioptera; Neuroptera; Coleoptera; Hymenoptera Diptera; Mecoptera; Siphonaptera; Trichoptera and Lepidoptera.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombines academic natural science, popular science, and artistic presentation to illustrate rhythms of evolution for fossil insects from the Mid Mesozoic of Northern China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDocuments morphology, taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolutionary changes of 23 orders of insects from the Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous faunas in Northern China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents interactions of insects with plants, vertebrates, and other insects based on well-preserved fossil evidence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses photos of extant insects and plants, fossil and amber specimens, line drawings, and 3-D computer-generated reconstruction artworks to give readers clear and enjoyable impressions of the scientific findings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces insect-related stories from western and Chinese culture in text or sidebars to give global readers broader exposures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRhythms of Insect Evolution: Evidence from the Jurassic and Cretaceous in Northern China\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to entomologists, evolutionists, paleontologists, paleoecologists, and natural scientists. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDONG REN, CHUNGKUN SHIH, TAIPING GAO, YONGJIE WANG and YUNZHI YAO\u003c\/b\u003e are all professors in the College of Life Sciences, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China.
