Beschreibung

Understanding the biology and genetics of butterflies and moths may lead to new species-selective methods of control, saving billions of dollars in pesticide use and protecting environmental and human health. Putting the spotlight on the second largest order of insects living today, this book provides a summary of cutting-edge studies of the Lepidoptera as an organism in and of itself and as a model system. Leading researchers discuss symbiosis, genomes, sex determination, natural products, ecophysiology, sensory systems, pest control, immunity, evolution, and the sterile insect technique.
