Insect parasitoids are a fascinating group of animals in many
respects. Perhaps the most fascinating point is that these insects,
in the course of the evolutionary time, have developed an
impressive way to use chemical compounds to dialogue with the
different protagonists of their environment (i.e., conspecifics,
their hosts and the plants on which their hosts are living).
Unravelling the evolutionary meaning of such chemical communication
networks can give new insights into the ecology of these insects
and especially on how to improve their use for the control of
noxious pests in biological control programmes. Chemical Ecology of
Insect Parasitoids is a timely publication, with organised chapters
to present the most important knowledge and discoveries that have
taken place over the last decade, and their potential use in pest
control strategy. Specific relevant case studies are presented to
enhance the reader's experience. Suited to graduate students and
professional researchers and practitioners in pest management,
entomology, evolutionary biology, behavioural ecology, and chemical
ecology, this book is essential for anyone needing information on
this important group of insects.
