Insect Pheromone Biochemistry and Molecular Biology : the Biosynthesis and Detection of Pheromones and Plant Volatiles.
A valuable new reference on insect behavior, this exceptional new text delves into the primary sensory communication system used by most insects -- their sense of smell. This important text covers how insects produce pheromones and how they detect pheromones and plant volatiles. Since insects rely o...
