Insect-Fungal Associations: Ecology and Evolution
£95.00
usually dispatched within 4-7 days
There is a significant and increasing interest in using fungi as biocontrol agents for insect pests in agricultural systems, and also a growing interest in the basic biology of insect-fungal associations from the perspective of parasitism, symbiosis, and infection. Vega and Blackwell are well-regarded workers in this field, and they have assembled an impressive short book of ten chapters to cover the most important topics in this field, incorporating new molecular techniques wherever possible. The book should appeal to worker in ecology, entomology, mycology, plant pathology, and biological control and pest management.

Author Biography
Fernando E. Vega is an insect pathologist at the Insect Biocontrol Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, a U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service facility. He researches developing innovative biological control methods to control the coffee berry borer, the most devastating pest of coffee throughout the world. Meredith Blackwell is a mycologist using cultural, morphological, and molecular characters in her studies of the biology of associations between fungi and insects. She has conducted field studies in the Sonoran Desert, northern Gulf Coast, Canada, and Panama.Related products
