Synthetic Biology (SB) is a revolutionary discipline with a vast range of practical applications, but is SB research really based on engineering principles? Does it contributing to the artificial synthesis of life or does it utilise approaches sufficiently advanced to fall outsi…
This book is an account of major aspects of the biology of natural enemies, punctuated with information and advice on which experiments or observations to conduct and how to carry them out. It provides guidance on the literature that may need to be consulted on particular topics…
"Traditional ecological approaches to species evolution have frequently dealt with too few species, relatively small areas, and relatively short time spans. In The Coevolutionary Process, John N. Thompson advances a new conceptual approach to the evolution of species interaction…
