Special issue on: The Response of Insects to Global Change Guest edited by: Prof. Feng Ge, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Understanding the effects of climate change is key to conserving human valued resources. Insects are the largest class of animals on earth and will respond to effects of global change directly and via effects on their hosts. Acting together, these direct and indirect effects will affect the development, survival, reproduction and movement of insects. Moreover, climate change may affect the temporal and spatial dynamics of outbreak species and invasive species, changing the frequency of outbreaks and their spatial patterns, size and geographical range.
