Microbes for Sustainable Insect Pest Management
This Volume comprises 14 chapters in an attempt to provide the reader with available information on safe and effective use of entomopathogens. Chapters in this book dealing with soil-borne entomopathogens and their phylogeny also provide a review on most updated information of their isolation and molecular identification. Employing fungal pathogens in biological control programmes plays a key role, and conidial thermotolerance and oxidative stress are examined in separate chapters. Entomopathogenic bacteria are able to kill their hosts quickly. An important contribution concerns informations provided upon bacterial cytotoxic factors on insect haemocytes. Nematodes are biological control agen...
Microbes for Sustainable lnsect Pest Management
The search for new strategies of pest control with safer molecules is currently of great importance and interest. Microbe-mediated biological crop protection is an attractive and promising technology with no concern for a negative impact on the environment and biodiversity. Microbial hydrolytic enzymes such as proteases, chitinases, lipases, etc. are attractive for this purpose. They present toxic properties and act synergistically to control pest attacks. Also, some metabolites, that microorganisms produce for their survival or defense, can be explored and exploited for plant protection. The focus of this Volume is on the potential of microbial hydrolytic enzymes and their metabolites in ag...
Host-Pathogen Interactions
Although many insects successfully live in dangerous environments exposed to diverse communities of microbes, they are often exploited and killed by specialist pathogens. In the process of the co-evolution of insects and entomopathogenic microorganisms, they develop various adaptive systems that determine the sustainable existence of dynamic host–parasite interactions at both the organismic and population levels.
Encyclopedia of Entomology
This text brings together fundamental information on insect taxa, morphology, ecology, behavior, physiology, and genetics. Close relatives of insects, such as spiders and mites, are included.
TÓPICOS AVANÇADOS EM ENTOMOLOGIA MOLECULAR 2 edição
Escrito em português, a leitura do livro mostra capítulos que se sucedem conjugando precisão e densidade, e cobrindo tópicos variados, entre eles aspectos fundamentais da biologia como determinantes moleculares da embriogênese e reprodução, aspectos variados da fisiologia insetos como hormônios, comportamento, ritmo circadianos, imunidade, metabolismo, genômica, interação entre insetos vetores e patógenos ou hospedeiros e, concluindo o volume, com análises de desafios ligados a uma perspectiva aplicada, como resistência a inseticidas, métodos inovadores de controle de insetos ou carrapatos e aplicações biotecnológicas. Em suma, o livro oferece, para aqueles que têm interesse na biologia de artrópodes, uma fascinante vista panorâmica da área, pela visão de alguns dos melhores grupos de pesquisa do país, que esperamos que acabe por se transformar em uma convidativa porta de entrada para novas gerações de estudantes.

Handbook of Christianity in China
Who were the main actors in propagating Christianity in China? Where did Christian communities settle? What discussions were held in China, concerning Christianity? These, and many other, questions are answered in this reference work, which is divided in a systematic part and analytical articles. This handbook represents a true reference guide to the reception of Christianity in pre-1800 China. It presents to the reader, in comprehensive fashion, all current knowledge of Christianity in China, and guides him through the main Chinese and Western sources, bibliographies and archives. The scope of the volume is broad and covers a wide range of topics, such as theology, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, cannon, botany, art, music, and more.
The Making of European Music in the Long Eighteenth Century
In this book, author D. R. M. Irving traces the emergence of such large-scale categories as "European music" and "Western music," showing how they originate from self-fashioning in contexts of intercultural comparison outside the European continent rather than the resolution of national aesthetic differences within it. Taken as a whole, this study demonstrates how reductive labels for the musics of a continent or a hemisphere often imply homogeneity and essentialism, and how a renewed critique of primary sources can help dismantle historiographical constructs that arose within narratives of musical pasts involving Europe.
