Latest volume in respected series with in-depth reviews on insect physiology
Suitable for researchers and professionals in agricultural entomology, plant science, ecology and soil science, this book includes topics such as: Molecular approach to root herbivores; Phylloxera; Plant metabolites; Soil climate; and Behavioral ecology / wireworms.Drawing on expertise from around the world, this volume identifies our current state of knowledge about the behavior and physiology of root herbivores. In particular, this work describes prevailing concepts and theories based on historical and current literature and identifies what new technologies and approaches are available to researchers in the field. Chapters address how root herbivore behavior and physiology is affected by the biotic and abiotic soil environment, cover case studies of globally significant pests and discuss advances in molecular techniques. Covering all aspects of behavioral and physiological responses of root herbivores to their environment, this will be valuable reading for researchers and professionals in agricultural entomology, plant science, ecology and soil science.
