Aquatic insects represent one of the most significant and diverse biological groups inhabiting freshwater ecosystems such as rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and reservoirs. They play indispensable roles in nutrient cycling, food web dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and environmental monitoring. Their sensitivity to ecological disturbances makes them reliable bioindicators for assessing freshwater quality and ecosystem health. In recent decades, aquatic insect research has expanded beyond taxonomy and ecology to include conservation biology, climate change studies, biomonitoring, sustainable water management, and applied sciences such as aquaculture and fisheries. Despite their ecological importance, aquatic insects remain underrepresented in mainstream biological literature, especially in developing countries where freshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by pollution, habitat degradation, and anthropogenic pressures. This edited volume aims to compile current knowledge, innovative research findings, and practical applications related to aquatic insects from global and regional perspectives. The book will serve as a comprehensive academic resource for researchers, educators, environmental managers, policymakers, and students interested in freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability. The proposed chapters will cover a broad spectrum of themes, including taxonomy, ecological roles, seasonal dynamics, habitat relationships, conservation strategies, molecular tools, and emerging research frontiers in aquatic entomology. By integrating interdisciplinary approaches, this volume seeks to bridge knowledge gaps and inspire future studies on aquatic insect diversity and freshwater ecosystem resilience.
