This book is the result of the 12 keynote addresses, delivered at the third IOBC International Symposium held in Montpellier, France in October 2002, focusing on recent developments in genetics and evolutionary biology, and their relevance to biological control. Chapters are organized around the following themes: genetic structure of pest and natural enemy populations; molecular diagnostic tools in biological control; tracing the origin of pests and natural enemies; predictive evolutionary change in pests and natural enemies; compatibility of transgenic crops and natural enemies; and genetic manipulation of natural enemies. This book will interest readers in entomology and pest management, genetics, ecology and evolution.  Read more... Genetic structure of natural plant and pathogen populations; measuring genetic variation in natural enemies used for biological control - why and how?; genetic markers in rust fungi and their application to weed biocontrol; tracing the origin of pests and natural enemies - genetic statistical approaches; interactions between natural enemies and transgenic insecticidal crops; the GMO guidelines project - development of international scientific environmental biosafety testing guidelines for transgenic plants.
