Sobre IBD

This book provides a review of some detailed toxicological studies of azadirachtin, aplant-derived toxin, on the squash bug, an insect ofgreat horticultural importance. For centuries, Neemhas been used to manage various pests and its potencyis now believed to be largely a result ofazadirachtin and other similar synergistic compounds. Various formulations containing azadirachtin wereused on different life stages of the squash bug. Variables in the study include; feeding, matingbehavior, ovoposition, molting, early-instardevelopment and mortality in squash bugs. Thecompiled studies include both laboratory and fieldstudies that make a comprehensive overview of some ofthe effects of the azadirachtin-containing compoundson the insect and more generally, on the yield andbiomass of the host-plants.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
