Despite the extensive attention given by researchers to aphids, no comprehensive review has been published covering all aspects of aphid biology. A few small books exist on certain aspects of nomenclature, ecology, physiology, and natural enemies. Aphid biology is studied by many specialists, each representing their own area of interest; therefore, the only way to present this comprehensive review is through a multi-author approach. This three-volume work is compiled similarly to the first books in the series World Crop Pests: Spider Mites. The volumes contain contributions by more than 40 authors. In this first volume, an account is given on morphology and systematics, anatomy, genetics, life cycles, ways of life, reproduction and polymorphism, and interaction with the environment. These topics are followed by an in-depth study of the evolution of aphids, especially in connection with the evolution of plants. In addition, processes governing the development of population structure and speciation are discussed.
