| Abstract | "This book provides a comprehensive guide to the unique biology of an intriguing group of parasitoids that, until relatively recently, have remained something of a mystery in terms of both phenotype and genotype. Research scientists, graduate and undergraduate students have become interested in this intriguing group of parasites, because the unique biology of Strepsiptera makes them a good model system for a wide range of biological questions. This book will be a one stop-point', where up-to-date information can be obtained regarding this highly unusual entomophagous parasitoid"-- Provided by publisher. |
