Overview
Reflects on insect pests' evolution by evaluating existing theories, documenting case studies of diverse pest species and presenting new concepts regarding the problem of variation and implications for pest management strategies. Leading experts offer contributions which deal with variations in genetic markers and ecologically meaningful traits as well as future perspectives in entomology and biosystematics.

Evaluates existing theories about the evolution of insect pests; documents case studies of diverse species; and presents new ideas about intraspecific variation and implications for pest management strategies. Considers such general themes as patterns of habitat-related variation, the evolution and ecology of immigrant species, and the invasion of new habitats by foreign pests. The contributors are from US universities and private laboratories. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
