Genetic Structure and Local Adaptation in Natural Insect Populations
Author: Susan MopperPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475709021
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
Providing an essential foundation for evolutionary theory, this comprehensive volume examines patterns of genetic variation within natural insect populations, and explores the underlying mechanisms that lead to the genetic divergence of coexisting organisms. In particular, the text investigates current research on finescale genetic structure in natural insect populations. Internationally renowned scientists offer a wealth of current information not previously published. Part I present case studies of adaptive genetic structure in natural insect populations, including a critical discussion of the strenghts and weaknesses of the experimental methods employed. Part II addresses the ecological mechanisms that produce adaptive genetic structure in natural insect populations. Part III describes how behavioral and life-history patterns influence genetic structure. Finally, Part IV combines theoretical and empirical approaches linking genetic structure at the population level with larger-scale patterns of variation, such as host race formation and speciation. This broad-ranging, interdisciplinary source of information supplies a thorough examination of the mechanisms that promote and impede genetic structure in natural insect populations. It is a book that will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students, and to researchers in the fields of ecology, evolution, insect and plant systems, entomology, and population genetics.

Book Description
Fruit flies are enormously important economic pests, as California has learned over the past few years (remember the Mediterranean Fruit Fly?). The problem is expected to get worse, and issues of both basic research and control measures are very important for this pest. This book is the edited, camera-ready proceedings of a recent international symposium on fruit flies of economic importance. It covers current knowledge of fruit fly physiology, genetics, morphology and behavior. It discusses action programs for controlling and using fruit flies in agronomy, as well as the problem of fruit flies in the fruit growing industry.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
The identification of, and relationship among, pest organisms and their natural enemies is an essential prerequisite for the development of sustainable methods for their control. Biosystematics is the basis for management of biodiversity in sustainable agriculture. There is a vast armory of techniques available to the biosystematist, and this book is the first major review of the applications and potential of the methods now in use, ranging from the morphometric and ultrastructural to isozymes and DNA sequencing. This volume consists of 34 papers presented at the Third Workshop on the Ecological Foundations of Sustainable Agriculture (WEFSA III), organized by CAB INTERNATIONAL and the Systematics Association, held in June 1993. The book is divided into four parts: biosystematic services, biosystematic information, biosystematic characters, and biochemical and molecular biosystematics. It demonstrates how biosystematics can contribute to improved crop protection and which techniques are appropriate to address particular identification problems, and makes recommendations for future actions.
