Insect Behavior - Alex Córdoba-Aguilar, Daniel González-Tokman, Isaac González-Santoyo

Insects display a staggering diversity of behaviors. This accessible text offers a new approach that provides the reader with the necessary theoretical and conceptual foundations, at different hierarchical levels, to understand insect behavior. Studying these systems provides insights into a wide range of ecological, evolutionary, and behavioral questions including the genetics of behavior, phenotypic plasticity, chemical communication, and the evolution of life-history traits.

The book is divided into three main sections: mechanisms, ecological and evolutionary consequences, and applied issue
