Insect Behavior - From Mechanisms to Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences (Paperback): Alex Cordoba-Aguilar, Daniel... Insect Behavior - From Mechanisms to Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences (Paperback)
Alex Cordoba-Aguilar, Daniel Gonzalez-Tokman, Isaac Gonzalez-Santoyo
R1,710 Discovery Miles 17 100 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Insects display a staggering diversity of behaviors. Studying these systems provides insights into a wide range of ecological, evolutionary, and behavioral questions including the genetics of behavior, phenotypic plasticity, chemical communication, and the evolution of life-history traits. This accessible text offers a new approach that provides the reader with the necessary theoretical and conceptual foundations, at different hierarchical levels, to understand insect behavior. The book is divided into three main sections: mechanisms, ecological and evolutionary consequences, and applied issues. The final section places the preceding chapters within a framework of current threats to human survival - climate change, disease, and food security - before providing suggestions and insights as to how we can utilize an understanding of insect behavior to control and/or ameliorate them. Each chapter provides a concise, authoritative review of the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological foundations of each topic.
