Symposia Biologica Hungarica 16. - The Host-Plant in Relation to Insect Behaviour and Reproduction (1976)
THE HOST-PLANT IN RELATION TO INSECT BEHAVIOUR AND REPRODUCTION (Symposia Biologica Hungarica 16) Edited by T. JERMY The study of the relationship between phytophagous insects and their hosts is a fast-developing field, of interest to both practical and theoretical specialists. Contained in this volume) are reports of the latest findings achieved in research on: — sensori-physiological background of host selection — behavioural aspects of host-plant discovery — selection of host-plants for feeding and oviposition — induced changes in host-plant selection — host-plant influences on insect development and reproduction — plant resistance to parasites — evolutionary aspects of host-plant to insect relationships. This volume illuminates a wide range of highlights of this field and furnishes important new information for specialists in the fields of applied entomology, insect ethology and physiology, and ecology and evolution.
