More efficient selective pest management programs will evolve with a deeper understanding of the link between these behavioral strategies and host mortality. The book reviews topical issues, such as cutting-edge research on parasitoid decision making and the implications for biological control. It explores applications in other fields, provides information on the latest research methods, and includes helpful case studies and statistical tools. This book is an essential reference for research scientists and students studying these fascinating insects or for anyone involved in using parasitoids in biological control programs.Bernstein, Carlos is the author of 'Behavioural Ecology of Insect Parasitoids: From Theoretical Approaches to Field Applications' with ISBN 9781405163477 and ISBN 140516347X.
