Eight chapters consider the latest research and thought in the study of how insects use chemical signals to communicate with each other or to interact with other species. Written by internationally recognized experts, they focus on topics such as plant defenses against insects, floral odors that attract pollinators, host finding by parasitic insects, and pheromone-mediated interactions in cockroaches, moths, spiders, and mites. The book is essential reading for researchers and graduate students of chemically mediated communication in insects.

Review
"The book is essential reading for researchers and graduate students of chemically mediated communication in insects."
CSA
"Readers should not let the chapter titles dissuade them from further examination; this volume provides in-depth overviews of selected research topics within the broad field of chemical ecology. Although all of the chapters are informative, I especially found the chapter on chemically mediated tri-trophic level interactions and the chapter on the relationship between tiger moths and plant alkaloid chemistry to be fascinating."
