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: General
Aspects: Basic bioecology and insect nutrition; artificial diets;
insect/plant interactions; insect symbionts; the interface of
chemical ecology with the food; and insect cannibalism Specific
Aspects: Specific feeding guilds of insects including ants, social
bees, leaf chewers, seed suckers, seed chewers, root feeders, gall
makers, detritivorous feeders, pests of storage grains, fruit
flies, aphids, endo- and ectoparasitoids, predators, crisopids, and
hematophagous insects Applied Aspects: Host plant resistance and
the design of IPM programs in the context of insect bioecology and
nutrition 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.
