Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: This book is intended for two audiences. One is made u of entomologists and other biologists who want to know the way in which research with radiation and radioisotopes has advanced our understanding of insects, and what entomological problems of their own could be profitably attacked with such techniques. The second audience comprise those knowledgeable in work with irradiation and radioisotopes who would like a comprehensive account of what has been done with insects, and perhaps would like to know for what kinds of problems the insect is a suitable organism. |
