The appeal of insect predators, and parasitoids in particular, as research animals derives from the relative ease with which many species may be cultured and experimented with in the laboratory, the simple life cycles of most parasitoids, and the increasing demand for biological pest control. There is now a massive literature on insect natural enemies, so there is a great need for a general text that the enquiring student or research worker can use in deciding on approaches and techniques that are appropriate to the study and evaluation of such insects. This book fulfils that demand. A considerably updated and expanded version of a previous best-seller, it is an account of major aspects of the biology of predators and parasitoids, punctuated with information and advice on which experiments or observations to conduct, and how to carry them out. Guidance is provided, where necessary, on the literature that may need to be consulted on particular topics. While researchers can now refer to several books on parasitoids and predators, Insects as Natural Enemies is unique in emphasising practicalities. It is aimed at students and professional working in universities and both government and commercial institutes in the fields of pest management, agriculture, horticulture and forestry. 0aLIFE SCIENCES. 0aEVOLUTION (BIOLOGY). 0aPLANT DISEASES. 0aZOOLOGY. 0aENTOMOLOGY.14aLIFE SCIENCES.24aENTOMOLOGY.24aPLANT PATHOLOGY.24aANIMAL SYSTEMATICS/TAXONOMY/BIOGEOGRAPHY.24aEVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY.24aZOOLOGY.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978140201734640uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-2625-6zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY  aZDB-2-SBL  2ddccER  c36175d36175  00102ddc40708LEaCICYbCICYcELd2025-10-06l0o595.7r2025-10-06 08:44:48w2025-10-06yER
