Summary
Summary
Here is a new single-volume guide that provides complete discussion of the use of electrophoresis in studies of agricultural pests. It includes contributions from many noted experts in this field, giving the latest information on the study of populations, structure and familial relationships, migration and gene flow, taxonomy, evolution, biotype discrimination and host adaption, resistance to pesticides, the use of electrophoresis to assess parasitism of insects by Hymenopterous parasitoids in biological control programs, and the diets of insect predators. This unique reference covers a wide range of pest organisms from insects, slugs and birds to mammals, and offers insights into such techniques as conventional slab electrophoresis of proteins and enzymes, isoelectric focusing, 2-D electrophoresis, and electrophoresis of DNA, including DNA fingerprinting techniques.
