Insect Symbiosis, Volume 2summarizes current knowledge of symbiotic organisms in the biology of insects. Written by authorities on symbionts, the microbes associated with insects and mites, it includes information impacting evolutionary biology, physiology, parasitology, genetics, and animal behavior and is especially relevant to the control of agricultural and disease-carrying pests. In this second volume, a few repeat authors describe brand new aspects of their research, while a new group covers recently developing aspects of symbiotic relationships, including the recentbug in a bug mealy bug case, and two new examples of using symbionts in crop protection.
