The
third edition of Insect Resistance Management: Biology, Economics, and
Prediction expands coverage by including three new chapters on African
agriculture, genetic control of pests, and fitness costs of resistance. All
remaining chapters have been updated to cover key scientific findings published
since 2013. The coauthors have expertise in evolutionary biology, ecology,
economics, epizootiology, statistics, modeling, IPM, and genetics. The original
themes demonstrating the importance of economics, IPM, pest behavior, and the
behavior of humans implementing insect resistance management (IRM) are still
relevant. Entomologists and others developing experiments, models, regulations,
or public policy will benefit from this book that avoids reliance on dogma by
analyzing and synthesizing knowledge about a wide variety of species,
landscapes, and stakeholder problems.
