Raspberries and blackberries are a perennial favorite among consumers. Unfortunately, they are also a favorite host crop for pests. Protect your plants with the most up-to-date and comprehensive resource available: the Compendium of Raspberry and Blackberry Diseases and Pests, S…
"The intimate associations between plants and the insects that eat them have helped define and shape both groups for millions of years. This volume is a treatment of the evolutionary biology of herbivorous insects, including their relationships with host plants and natural enemi…
Among the various groups of aquatic insects, mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are of especial interest for professional limnologists and entomological researchers as well as for naturalists in general. Identification has traditionally been considered difficult and implementation in env…
"Part handbook, part field guide, part photo album, Secret Weapons chronicles the diverse and often astonishing defensive strategies that have allowed insects, spiders, scorpions, and other many-legged creatures not just to survive, but to thrive." "In sixty-nine chapters, each …

Seasonal adaptations of insects
by Tauber, Maurice J., Tauber, Catherine A., Masaki, Shinzo
A comprehensive discussion of the broad range of insect responses to seasonality and a critical interpretation of the scientific literature.
Insects are the most ecologically important multicellular heterotrophs in terrestrial systems. They play critical roles in ecological food webs, remain devastating agricultural and medical pests, and represent the most diverse group of eukaryotes in terms of species numbers. T…
Examines the evolutionary distinctions among the rainforests of the Americas, Africa, Madagascar, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea, due to the separate development of their flora and fauna.
Triplehorn (Ohio State University) and Johnson (biology, Ohio State University) combine a taxonomic approach to the study of insects with updated coverage of insect biology, evolution, and insect phylogeny for this seventh edition of the text. Many new families of insects have b…
"The principal goal of allelopathy is to foster sustainable agriculture, forestry, and environment. The objective is to minimize the industrial chemicals and to maximize the use of natural resources locally available while improving crop productivity, forestry and the environmen…
"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…
