Condition: New

This balanced, comprehensive account traces the alterations in body form that insects undergo as they adapt to seasonal change, exploring both theoretical aspects and practical issues, such as the impact of seasonality on insect pest management. The authors provide a critical interpretation of the voluminous scientific literature on the natural history, genetics, evolution, and management of insect adaptations. As the only current study of this important topic, this monograph will be essential reading for most entomologists, as well as many ecologists, invertebrate zoologists, and evolutionary biologists.
