The Economics of Integrated Pest Management of Insects
The book begins by establishing an economic framework upon which to apply the principles of IPM. Then, it looks at the entomological applications of economics, specifically, economic analyses concerning chemical, biological, cultural, and genetic control tactics as well as host plant resistance and the cost of sampling. Lastly it evaluates whether the control provided by a traditional IPM system is sufficient, or if changes to the system design would yield greater benefits.
Biodiversity, Functional Ecosystems and Sustainable Food Production
In recent decades, practices like the cultivation of a few high-yielding crop varieties on a large scale, the application of heavy machinery and continued mechanization of agriculture, the removal of natural habitats, and the application of pesticides and synthetics have resulted in the simplification of agro-ecosystems. This has enabled a substantial increase in food production but has at the same time transformed landscapes. Indeed, there is a concern that a decline in biodiversity has affected microbiome activities that support processes across soils, plants, animals, the marine environment, and humans. Although they have increased food production, the above practices cannot be considered...
CONTROLE BIOLÓGICO COM PARASITOIDES E PREDADORES NA AGRICULTURA BRASILEIRA
O Brasil tem avançado fortemente na utilização do controle biológico como estratégia dentro da sua agricultura. O uso deste modelo de controle a parasitoides e predadores cresce aqui em um ritmo muito maior do que o do restante do mundo, cujo aumento tem figurado entre 10-15% ao ano. Considerando esse novo desafio, que é desenvolver um modelo de controle biológico para regiões tropicais com tecnologia própria, essa obra apresenta 21 capítulos com vasto material sobre o assunto. Direcionado especialmente ao controle de macrorganismos (insetos e ácaros), o livro é dividido em cinco seções. Aborda assuntos básicos e aplicados, especialmente para a elaboração de programas inter e multidisciplinares, desde a taxonomia até modelos praga/inimigos naturais. Isso é fundamental para que bons resultados sejam obtidos em diferentes culturas, e esses resultados sejam transferidos ao agricultor.

Ecological Modelling Applied to Entomology
Insects, when studied from the ecological perspective, provide a great opportunity for scientific studies emphasizing population theory. The simple fact of being successful organisms for their ability to colonize different habitats or even for their high reproductive potential, increases the interest of ecologists in conducting studies focused on population and community level. Mathematical models are powerful tools that can capture the essence of many biological systems and investigate ecological patterns associated to ecological stability dependent on endogenous and exogenous factors. This proposal comes from the idea of adding experiences of researchers interested in working at the interface between mathematical and computation theory and problems centered on entomology, showing how mathematical modelling can be an important tool for understanding population dynamics, behavior, pest management, spatial structure and conservation.
Triatominae - The Biology of Chagas Disease Vectors
This book aims to present updated knowledge on various aspects of the natural history, biology, and impact of triatomines to all interested readers. Each chapter will be written by authorities in the respective field, covering topics such as behavior, neurophysiology, immunology, ecology, and evolution. The contents will consider scientific, as well as innovative perspectives, on the problems related to the role of triatomine bugs as parasite vectors affecting millions in the Latin American region.

Sampling Methods in Soybean Entomology
Insects as a group occupy a middle ground in the biosphere between bacteria and viruses at one extreme, amphibians and mammals at the other. The size and gen eral nature of insects present special problems to the student of entomology. For example, many commercially available instruments are geared to measure in grams, while the forces commonly encountered in studying insects are in the mil ligram range. Therefore, techniques developed in the study of insects or in those fields concerned with the control of insect pests are often unique. Methods for measuring things are common to all sciences. Advances sometimes depend more on how something was done than on what was measured; indeed a given ...
