This book presents a balanced view of how entomology supports both forensic investigations and sustainable agriculture. It highlights the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in advancing research and practical applications in these fields.
The first part focuses on forensic entomology, covering topics such as AI-assisted insect species identification, behaviour analysis, predictive modelling of necrophagous insect life cycles, virtual simulations, and the ethical and legal issues involved in using AI in forensic science. These chapters show how insects can help solve crimes when combined with modern technologies.
The second part covers agricultural entomology, where the focus is on managing pests and improving crop health using insect-based approaches and AI. Topics include integrated pest management, the use of beneficial insects, understanding emerging pests, plant-pollinator interactions, crop resistance strategies, insect-borne diseases, and how climate change affects pest dynamics. Additional chapters explore how AI and smart technologies are being used to monitor, predict, and manage insect-related challenges in agriculture.
This book is a useful resource for students, researchers, professionals, and policymakers working in entomology, forensic science, agriculture, environmental studies, and artificial intelligence. It provides updated insights and practical knowledge for those interested in applying science and technology to solve real-world problems involving insects.
