The Ecology of Insect Overwintering

"The most important feature of this book is its adoption of an ecological and physiological approach to the problem of insect overwintering. Although aimed at postgraduate entomologists, senior undergraduates in zoology, entomology, forestry, or agriculture will find this book eminently readable and well organized." M.J. O'Donnell, Choice

"The authors of this book have done an excellent job of integrating the rather extensive literature on the physiology of insect overwintering with the somewhat neglected study of winter ecology of insects....a very interesting, useful and scholarly introduction to overwintering. At a time when the utility of integrative biology has begun to be recognized, this book serves as a vivid example of the value of such interdisciplinary approaches." John G. Duman, Quarterly Review of Biology

"This book is a significant step in bringing traditionally isolated research activities together in the study of such an important phase in the life cycle of an insect....this book is well written with few printing errors....The authors provide a detailed subject index and an extensive bibliography which includes documents published not only in English but in several other languages as well. This book will interest advanced students and researchers in entomology as well as in other related fields." Erning Han, Ecoscience
