Written by a team of leading international specialists,
Behavioral Ecology of Insect Parasitoids examines the
optimal behaviors that parasitoids exhibit in order to maximize
long term offspring production. It is an essential reference for
research scientists and students studying these fascinating insects
or for anyone involved in using parasitoids in biological control
programs.
* * Reviews topical issues, including cutting edge research on
parasitoid decision making and the implications for biological
control
* Explores applications in other fields, provides information on
the latest research methods, and includes helpful case studies and
statistical tools
* Creates a deeper understanding of the link between behavioural
strategies and host mortality, resulting in more efficient
selective pest management programs
"Overall, this is a fascinating volume that provides a
significant contribution to the literature on parasitoid insects.
It goes a long way toward providing insights into numerous aspects
of parasitoid behavior and will stimulate a diversity of future
projects, something that should be the goal of any such text. I
highly recommend Wajnberg et al. for all of those working on the
biology or evolution of parasitoids." Palaios

Autoren-Porträt
Éric Wajnberg is a research scientist on BehavioralEcology at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique
(INRA), Sophia Antipolis, France. He is a population biologist
specializing in population genetics, behavioral ecology, and
statistical modeling. He is also an expert in biological control,
with more than 20 years experience of working with insect
parasitoids.
Carlos Bernstein is a research scientist on Behavioral
Ecology at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS),
Villeurbanne, France. He is a parasitoid behavioral ecologist whose
main center of interest is to enquire how individual behavior
translates into population processes. He leads a multidisciplinary
research group that combines theoretical research and mathematical
modeling with field and laboratory experimentation.
Jacques van Alphen is a professor of Animal Ecology at
the University of Leiden, The Netherlands. He is an expert in the
behavioral ecology and life-history evolution of parasitoids. His
current research is conducted on four host-parasitoid systems at
the University of Leiden.
