During the past decade, the study of the chemical structures used by
insects has advanced from a subject that could be reviewed in a single
volume to a vastly more advanced level. This important new volume brings
together a focused group of reviews that offer perspective on the most
interesting advances in insect chemical ecology.
Chemical Ecology of Insects 2 brings together an internationally
respected group of experts covering such topics as chemoreception and
integration, orientation mechanisms, plant-insect interactions and
insect-insect interactions. An important benefit of these reviews lies
in the identification of the boundaries of our current knowledge and the
most profitable areas in which we should expect these areas to
develop.
This important work will appeal to entomologists and ecologists working
directly with insects. In addition, plant scientists interested in the
interaction of plants and insects will find much valuable information.
The book is intended to benefit both field and laboratory researchers as
well as advanced students.
