Olfactory Concepts of Insect Control - Alternative to insecticides
Evolution gave rise to a prominent insect diversity at every level of ecological niche. Since then, hordes of insects have threatened human and cattle health as well as most of all green lands and agricultural crops. Now, the insect problem expands from many mutant forms of yellow dengue fever mosquitoes to highly-resistant larvae of most all various phytophageous species. The tremendous expansion of insects is due not only to an increasing resistance capacity to insecticides, but also to a strong capacity for adapting to different climate and environmental changes, including global warming. Obviously insects display a number of rudimentary systems to build an extremely efficient organism to...

Insect Pheromone Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Insect Pheromone Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Second Edition, provides an updated and comprehensive review of the biochemistry and molecular biology of insect pheromone biosynthesis and reception. The book ties together historical information with recent discoveries, provides the reader with the current state of the field, and suggests where future research is headed. Written by international experts, many of whom pioneered studies on insect pheromone production and reception, this release updates the 2003 first edition with an emphasis on recent advances in the field. This book will be an important resource for entomologists and molecular biologists studying all areas of insect communication. - Offers a historical and contemporary perspective, with a focus on advances over the last 15 years - Discusses the molecular and regulatory mechanisms underlying pheromone production/detection, as well as the evolution of these processes across the insects - Led by editors with broad expertise in the metabolic pathways of pheromone production and the biochemical and genetic processes of pheromone detection
Ever Since Eve
Ever Since Eve by Pamela Browning released on Dec 25, 1985 is available now for purchase.
Insect Pheromone Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
A valuable new reference on insect behavior, this exceptional new text delves into the primary sensory communication system used by most insects -- their sense of smell. Insect Pheromone Biochemistry and Molecular Biology covers how insects produce pheromones and how they detect pheromones and plant volatiles. Since insects rely on pheromone detection for both feeding and breeding, a better understanding of insect olfaction and pheromone biosynthesis could help curb the behavior of pests without the use of harmful pesticides and even help to reduce the socio-economic impacts associated to human-insect interactions. - Covers biochemistry and molecular biology of insect pheromone production - Explains pheromone production in moths, beetles, flies, and social insects - Describes pheromone and plant volatile reception
Olfaction
Our senses shape our reality and allow us to adapt to the everlasting changing environment. From all sensory modalities, olfaction is maybe the most intriguing one, probably because olfactory information influences our daily life without us even noticing. However, we can all relate to the powerful impact that the smell of our favorite food has on us. Likewise, olfactory cues could be determinants for partner selection (because love can be blind but not anosmic), mood regulation and cognition. Furthermore, recent studies link early olfactory dysfunctions to the occurrence of devastating pathologies, such as Alzheimer´s and Parkinson´s. Thus, the study of olfaction, at different levels from genetics to behavior, will pave the way for a better understanding of brain processes and associated disorders.

Biopesticides d'origine végétale (2e éd.)
Les produits naturels sont de plus en plus recherchés pour une agriculture durable, lutilisation sans discernement des pesticides conventionnels de synthèse ayant eu un impact écologique et sanitaire néfaste (résistance des ravageurs, contamination de lenvironnement et des écosystèmes, perte de la biodiversité ). Le recours au monde végétal et aux molécules qui ont permis aux plantes de se protéger contre les ennemis naturels devient donc indispensable. À côté de molécules susceptibles davoir des actions insecticides, fongicides ou herbicides, les recherches récentes ont souligné les activités des composés végétaux dans les mécanismes de défense des plantes.
