The publication of the extensive 7-volume work Comprehensive
Molecular Insect Science provided library customers and their
end-users with a complete reference encompassing important
developments and achievements in modern insect science, including
reviews on the ecdysone receptor, lipocalins, and bacterial toxins.
One of the most popular areas in entomology is control, and this
derivative work, Insect Control, taps into a previously
unapproached market - the end user who desires to purchase a
comprehensive yet affordable work on important aspects of this
topic. Contents will include timeless articles covering insect
growth- and development-disrupting insecticides, mechanisms and use
of Bacillus thuringiensis, biology and genomics of polydnaviruses,
pheromones: function and use in insect control, and more. New
summaries for each chapter will give an overview of developments in
the related article since its original publication.
