Product Description

Review

"The book should be very useful to lecturers and educators involved in teaching insect-fungal associations to revise and update teaching course topics and material. All in all, I highly recommend this volume to all interested in insect-fungal associations and interactions."-- ycologist's

"This book should be very useful to lecturers and educators involved in teaching insect-fungal associations to revise and update course topics and material. All in all, I highly recommend this volume to all interested in insect-fungal associations and interactions."--Inoculum
"Well written, present state-of-the-art information, and make for interesting and informative reading. The overall high quality of the book, its breadth of coverage, and its extremely reasonable price combine to make this a valuable and accessible resource for anyone interested in ecology, evolution, and symbiology."--Quarterly Review of Biology

Product Description

There is a significant and increasing interest in using fungi as biocontrol agents for insect pests in agricultural systems, and also a growing interest in the basic biology of insect-fungal associations from the perspective of parasitism, symbiosis, and infection. Vega and Blackwell are well-regarded workers in this field, and they have assembled an impressive short book of ten chapters to cover the most important topics in this field, incorporating new molecular techniques wherever possible. The book should appeal to worker in ecology, entomology, mycology, plant pathology, and biological control and pest management.

excellent overview of the subject 8 Jun 2008

By Friedrich Hagemeyer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

The book gives an excellent overview of parasitic and synergistic relations between insects and fungi. I was looking very long for a treatment of the subject in total, very happy now, that I found it.

Scintillating Symbiosis 3 Jun 2005

By Beetle Bailey - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

Biology often reveals worlds within worlds, and this book does an excellent job of describing the extraordinarily complex relationships between insects and fungi. Yeast-eating beetles! Fungi hiding in the leaves of plants! Ants that tend fungus gardens - like tiny mushroom farmers! This scholarly volume will open your eyes to some of the more subtle wonders of nature.
