Most people know of aphids as garden pests, infesting the soft green tissues of plants in vast numbers and killing them by sucking out the sap. Indeed, among the 4000 or so known species of aphids about 250 are pests, and in temperate regions several are economically important agricultural pests that damage crops directly during feeding or act as v

This second edition covers the evolution of aphids and their development in relation to specific plants, thoroughly revised and expanded since the first highly successful edition. Increasing knowledge of aphids has revealed that they are ideal organisms to use when studying many topical ecological issues.

This book presents the results of recent research on aphid population dynamics and ecology relevant to current environmental changes resulting from global wa- ing. It incorporates a selection of the contributions presented at the International Symposium on Aphids in Fremantle, Australia, in October 2005, plus some ad- tional invited chapters. The objective was to incorporate the major issues in the ?eld and simultaneously create a closely interrelated and integrated volume. The ?rst chapter sets the scene. Kindlmann and Dixon present a critical review of existing models of aphid population dynamics, examine the biological assumptions that are incorporated in the models and present one of the latest models of aphid metapopulation dynamics. They conclude that natural enemies are unlikely to affect aphid population dynamics late in a season, but in some years may have an effect very early in the season, when aphid colonies are still small and predators might be able to reduce the numbers of colonies. The question, whether aphids will move to different locations, adapt to the change in conditions in their current habitat or go extinct is discussed by Ameixa. She concludes that the distributions of aphids are most likely to change, with the distribution of each species moving globally as their preferred habitat moves in response to changes in the climate, which may be more dif?cult than in the past because of habitat fragmentation and habitat loss.

This book contains the proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Aphids, held in September 2001 at Rennes, France, and organised by the aphidologists of Inra and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Rennes (Ensar). It covers most aspects of aphid researches world-wide, gathered in five sections on Biology and Ecology - Taxonomy, Systematics and Faunistics - Genetics, Population Biology and Evolutionary Ecology - Population Dynamics, Biological Control and Integrated Pest Management - Aphid-plant Relationships. The number of papers and their diversity reflect the dynamism of the world community of aphid-working scientists.

The great majority of the contributions to be found in this volume result from oral presentations given at a symposium during the XVIII International Congress of Entomology entitled Mechanisms of Aphid-Plant Genotype Interactions, which was held in Vancouver, Canada in July, 1988. Aphids represent a vast and diverse assemblage of insects. Among these are many of great economic importance by virtue of their detrimental effects to important crop or ornamental plants. Even those aphids having little or no economic impact, or that cause no damage to their hosts except nutrient removal, may yet be of great theoretical interest in that their often intimate association with their hosts provides excellent systems for the study of the evolution of adaptation. Other factors, such as environmental influences, and associations with pathogenic, saprophytic, or symbiotic microorganisms, may play an influential role in modifying the ultimate outcome of aphid-plant interactions. Substantive future progress towards the elucidation of these processes can only be expected if much greater understanding is obtained of the interactions of all the organisms involved in the plant based community.

Aphids are among the major global pest groups, causing serious economic damage to many food and commodity crops in most parts of the world. This revision and update of the well-received first edition published ten years ago reflects the expansion of research in genomics, endosymbionts and semiochemicals, as well as the shift from control of aphids with insecticides to a more integrated approach imposed by increasing resistance in the aphids and government restrictions on pesticides. The book remains a comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the biology of aphids, the various methods of controlling them and the progress of integrated pest management as illustrated by ten case histories.
