This volume is a valuable resource for researchers in chemical, molecular, behvioural and
evolutionary ecology, insect morphology, insect physiology, phytopathology and pest control.
It provides important infomration for those interested in both fundamental and applied research,
but also for readers who are just fascinated by the mulitple facets of the chemoecology of insects
This is the first book focusing on the chemoecology of insect eggs and egg deposition.
It covers a wide range of different issues including herbivorous and carnivorous insects, social insects
and those of medical and veterinary importance. The knowledge compiled in this book may promote
future studies on evolutionary aspects on insect reproductive behaviour as well as on controlling insect
pests by targeting the egg stage.
