This up-to-date reference book discusses the effects of climate change on the biodiversity of insect pests. The changing climate and agricultural intensification practices impact negatively on insect biodiversity. The book explains the significance of insect pests for evaluating climatic impacts on a wide range of ecological systems. It covers the effect of climate change on pollinators and household and agricultural insect pests. It explains how climate-smart agriculture can enhance productivity and food security.
FEATURES
Reviews the effects of climate change on plant-insect interactions Includes topics such as insect biodiversity informatics and conservation Discusses food security, pest management, and beneficial and social insects Covers topics such as precision agriculture and climate-smart agriculture Provides insights on the relation between agriculture intensification and insect biodiversityThis book is meant for scientists, researchers, and students working in the fields of agriculture, entomology, ecology, plant science, environmental biology, and biotechnology.

This book comprehensively reviews the transformative potential of genome editing in insect pest management. The introductory chapter explores the importance of genome sequencing and its role in understanding pest biology and control. The subsequent chapters provide a thorough examination of CRISPR/Cas9 and other genome editing tools, discussing ethical and regulatory aspects. The following chapters introduce precision pest control strategies, including gene drive technologies and enhanced sterile insect techniques, and discuss integrating omics into integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) enhanced with genome editing, its limitations, and various applications in pest control are discussed. The final chapter reviews the challenges, ethical considerations, risk assessment, safety protocols, biosecurity measures, the need for regulatory frameworks, and international cooperation in genome editing for pest management. As such, this book is a valuable source for scientists, researchers, and professionals in the fields of entomology, genetics, and agricultural science.
Key features:
Explores the role of omics technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics for pest management Delves into RNAi in pest management, discussing its role in target identification and validation for pest gene control Highlights the cutting-edge tools such as CRISPR/Cas9, ZFNs, and TALENs and their applications in pest control Discusses innovative strategies such as gene drive technologies and the enhanced Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), and their integration into Integrated Pest Management Addresses the ethical, safety, and regulatory challenges associated with genome editing in pest management909 kr
