As a unique reference specifically addressing bioecology and insect nutrition, this volume places these topics in the framework of integrated pest management (IPM). It covers the basics of insect nutrition and explains how the knowledge can be applied to IPM. Written for graduate students in entomology as well as professionals, the book exposes readers to lesser-known information on the neotropics. The first part of the book covers basic aspects of bioecology and insect nutrition. The second section explains specific feeding groups of insects, known as guilds. The book concludes with host plant resistance and the design of IPM programs
The field of insect nutritional ecology has been defined by how insects deal with nutritional and non-nutritional compounds, and how these compounds influence their biology in evolutionary time. In contrast, Insect Bioecology and Nutrition for Integrated Pest Management presents these entomological concepts within the framework of integrated pest management (IPM). It specifically addresses bioecology and insect nutrition in modern agriculture. Written for graduate students and professionals in entomology, this book covers neotropical information in three sections:
Much of the research on which these chapters were written was done in Brazil and based on its neotropical fauna. The complexity and diversity of the neotropics provides enough data that readers from all zoogeographical regions can readily translate the information in this book to their specific conditions. The book’s value as an entry point for further research is enhanced by the inclusion of approximately 4,000 references.
