About this title

Synopsis

Approaching the study of insect reproduction from an evolutionary perspective, 11 papers discuss a wide range of topics of interest both to academics investigating evolutionary biology, and to people involved in the practicalities of pest control. Shows how selection has fashioned reproductive behavior, strategies to bring the sexes together (how often have you seen a cockroach in a singles bar, for example), oviposition, and larval competition.

Review

...an exciting and critical review of current thinking on reproductive behaviour in insects: I think it works very well - Martin C Birch, The Biologist; This book is well written and presents and up-to-date overview of current international research on the subject and may be well recommended to students of insect behaviour and those interested in modern biological thought.
