Beskrivning

This book provides a complete overview of cutting-edge research on insect sex pheromones and pheromone communication systems. The book both summarizes the progress of studies conducted using Bombyx mori and several groups of moths and reviews sex pheromones of some non-lepidopteran insect groups of agricultural importance.
