Combining both host and prey selection of entomophagous insects, this book illuminates these very similar processes. Recent interest in the field has prompted this work in the physiological and biochemical fields in relation to host selection. This book should be of interest to professional readers and graduate students in entomology and zoology departments, and professional readers and graduate students interested in chemical ecology and biological control.

Introduction: predators, parasites, parasitoids; the challenge of host selection. Ambush: classic examples; mimicry; detection. Trapping: classic examples; how traps work; detection and attack. Hunting: classic examples; vision, odours and sound. Searching: search strategies; examples; modalities; effective space. Sources of host selection cues: role of plants; the host; associated organisms. Plants and host selection: role of plants in attracting parasitoids and predators; source and chemistry of synamones. Host detection: cairomones; shape; movement. Chemical cues: long and short range cues; chemistry of synamones and cairomones. Vision and vibrational cues: receptors. Genetics and learning: plasticity of host selection. The final decision: egg deposition; novel and artificial hosts; external and internal factors. The next generation: host marking; effect of entomophages on host behaviour and physiology; parasites and their effect on the host. Host defenses: how prey or host tries to escape.
