Insect Pest Management and Ecological Research

Insect Pest Management and Ecological Research

Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521800625 | 2003-04-14 | PDF | 400 pages | 2 Mb

This study shows how to navigate the diversity of options presented in current ecological theory by developing the first general model of the entomological research requirements of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). The book includes practical advice on understanding and investigating species; examines the ecological problems associated with polyphagous pests and beneficial species; and scrutinizes ways suggested to improve insect biological control. It is an important resource for graduate students and researchers in IPM, insect pest management, entomology, ecology and crop protection.



• Examines how information is best obtained for the applied science of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) • Provides first model relating insect ecology research needs to the structure of IPM systems, allowing more effective research and pest control practice • Provides practical help and case studies as well as principles and theory

Book Description
The late Eugene Odum was a pioneer in systems ecology and is credited with bringing ecosystems into the mainstream public consciousness as well as into introductory college instruction. FUNDAMENTALS OFECOLOGY was first published in 1953 and was the vehicle Odum used to educate a wide audience about ecological science. This Fifth Edition ofFUNDAMENTALS OF ECOLOGY is co-authored by Odum's protege Gary Barrett and represents the last academic text Odum produced. The text retains its classic holistic approach to ecosystem science, butincorporates and integrates an evolutionary approach as well. In keeping with a greater temporal/spatial approach to ecology, new chapters inlandscape ecology, regional ecology, and global ecology have been addedbuilding on the levels-of-organization hierarchy. Also, a final chapter entitled "Statistical Thinking for Students of Ecology" provides a quantitative synthesis to the field of statistics. Contemporary and engaging, this text brings clarity and specificity to the study of ecology in the twenty-first century.
