Individual  chapters raise specific questions as to the nature of these  interactions. \u003cbr\u003e  The first part contains reviews on antagonistic and mutualistic  chemical interactions, the `raw materials' of chemical evolution, the  economics of offensive and defensive chemicals, and neurobiology.  \u003cbr\u003e  The second part discusses particular problems such as the evolution of  resistance, insect pollination, learning, pheromones, sequestration of  semiochemicals, the role of microorganisms, sex attractants, the  evolution of host races and biotypes, and the role of semiochemicals  and the evolution of sociality of insects. The last chapter discusses  the role of chemical-based pest management programs in an ecological  and evolutionary framework.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412018718\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 360\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312266989708,"sku":"9780412018718","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412018718.jpg?v=1771523096","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780412018718","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
