Insect pheromone biochemistry and molecular biology : the biosynthesis and detection of pheromones and plant volatiles /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

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...
