Su questo libro

Recensione

'... this will be a most useful contribution to the study of migration; it is really helpful to have a number of papers containing important, and in some cases new, data to be bound together in a manageable volume which will be invaluable to researchers in the future.' D. J. L. Agassiz, Bulletin of Entomological Research

'It confers a much broader debate than a usual proceedings volume and the final overview provides a holistic model of migration which may well form a springboard for future developments in the field.' Jim Hardie, Antenna

'There is a lot of useful theory expounded here ... a very rewarding book, ideal as a reference to new developments.' John Feltwell, Biologist

'... well written and very informative.' A. van Huis, Endeavour

'... a very well constructed book based on the knowledge of a great number of well-known contributors. It can be recommended as an excellent guide to all who need updated information in insect migration.' Kari Tiilikkala, Integrated Pest Management Reviews

'The strength of this book lies in its bringing together information on several long-distance insect migrants, and offering a vivid view of the integration between large-scale weather processes and migration ... a nice example of large-scale ecology.' Dr. C. Solbreck, Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata

' ... there is a mine of information in this text, both in the methods of study of large scale migration, the linking of migration to resource predictability, seasonal climates and large scale weather systems and the theoretical underpinning.' Journal of Insect Conservation

Descrizione del libro

This is a comprehensive account of insect migration, including some of the most serious pests. Migration is considered in its ecological and evolutionary context, with an emphasis on weather and climate factors. Problems of forecasting and its importance to integrated pest management are discussed.
