{"product_id":"insect-behavior-alex-cordoba-aguilar-9780198797500","title":"Insect Behavior: From Mechanisms to Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences","description":"Insects display a staggering diversity of behaviors. Studying these systems provides insights into a wide range of ecological, evolutionary, and behavioral questions including the genetics of behavior, phenotypic plasticity, chemical communication, and the evolution of life-history traits. This accessible text offers a new approach that provides the reader with the necessary theoretical and conceptual foundations, at different hierarchical levels, to understand insect behavior. The book is divided into three main sections: mechanisms, ecological and evolutionary consequences, and applied issues. The final section places the preceding chapters within a framework of current threats to human survival - climate change, disease, and food security - before providing suggestions and insights as to how we can utilize an understanding of insect behavior to control and\/or ameliorate them. Each chapter provides a concise, authoritative review of the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological foundations of each topic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Cordoba-Aguilar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198797508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198797500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Alex Cordoba-Aguilar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054689874175,"sku":"9780198797500","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50e117a9-36af-4053-897b-c33ea9c3831e.jpg?v=1685031417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/insect-behavior-alex-cordoba-aguilar-9780198797500","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
