Insect overwintering is a fascinating process involving many physiological, epidemiological, biochemical and behavioral changes. The study of the overwintering process can offer an insight into the development of insects, as well as help us predict the patterns of disease epidemic and crop destruction caused by some species. This book provides a comprehensive account of the various forms of insect overwintering and highlights important areas of economic interest.
