Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2013 Cambridge University Press paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. Plants provide insects with a range of specific foods, such as nectar, pollen and food bodies. In exchange, they may obtain various services from arthropods. The role of food rewards in the plant-pollinator mutualism has been broadly covered. This book, first published in 2005, addresses another category of food-mediated interactions, focusing on how plants employ foods to recruit arthropod 'bodyguards' as a protection against herbivores. Many arthropods with primarily carnivorous lifestyles require plant-provided food as an indispensable part of their diet. Only recently have we started to appreciate the implications of non-prey food for plant-herbivore-carnivore interactions. Insight into this aspect of multitrophic interactions is not only crucial to our understanding of the evolution and functioning of plant-insect interactions in natural ecosystems, it also has direct implications for the use of food plants and food supplements in biological control programs. This edited volume provides essential reading for all researchers interested in plant-insect interactions. Contents: Foreword by P. W. Price 1. Food for protection: an introduction - Felix L. Wackers and Paul C. J. van Rijn PART I FOOD PROVISION BY PLANTS 2. Suitability of (extra)-floral nectar, pollen, and honeydew as insect food sources - Felix L. Wackers 3. Nectar as fuel for plant protectors - Suzanne Koptur 4. Fitness consequences of food-for-protection strategies in plants - Maurice W. Sabelis, Paul C. J. van Rijn, and Arne Janssen PART II ARTHROPODS FEEDING ON PLANT-PROVIDED FOOD 5. Food needs of adult parasitoids: behavioral adaptations and consequences - D. M. Olson, K. Takasu, and W. J. Lewis 6. Effects of plant feeding on the performance of omnivorous 'predators' - Micky D. Eubanks and John D. Styrsky 7. Nectar- and pollen-feeding by adult herbivorous insects - Jorg Romeis, Erich Stadler, and Felix L. Wackers PART III PLANT-PROVIDED FOOD AND BIOLOGICAL CONTROL 8. Impact of plant-provided food on herbivore-carnivore dynamics - Paul C. J. van Rijn and Maurice W. Sabelis 9. Does floral nectar improve biological control by parasitoids? - George E. Heimpel and Mark A. Jervis 10. Habitat diversification in biological control: the role of plant resources - T. K. Wilkinson and D. A. Landis 11.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As well as examining successful biological control programmes this book analyses why the majority of attempts fail. Off-target and other negative effects of biological control are also dealt with. Chapters contributed by leading international researchers and practitioners in all areas of biological control afford the book a breadth of coverage and depth of analysis not possible with a single author volume. Combined with the use of other experts to review chapters and editorial oversight to ensure thematic integrity of the volume, this book provides the most authoritative analysis of biological control published. Key aspects addressed include how success may be measured, how successful biological control has been to date and how may it be made more successful in the future.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is about video techniques, not video technology. To deal with the latter would be a thankless task, as by the time the book was published it would be out of date, given the rapid rate of development of video hardware. However, these technological advances do help to make it an exciting field. As Joe Riley says in Chapter 1, 'Advances in video technology continually produce improvements in performance and reductions in both the cost and size of equipment, so it seems certain that the technique will prove to be an even more useful resource . . . in the future. ' In selecting the topics and authors represented in this book, I have tried to encompass most of the behavioural and ecological uses to which video is likely to be put over the next decade or so. I believe the book has captured the invaluable accumulated experience of the most active practitioners of the medium in this research area. The idea for the book arose from two workshops on the use of video in ecology and behaviour held at Southampton University, UK, during the 1980s. Three learned societies were involved in these meetings: the Association of Applied Biologists, the British Ecological Society and the Society for Experimental Biology.…
