| Tóm tắt: | The inception of this book is tied closely to the legacy of Ronald J. Prokopy (1935–
2004). Ron was not only one of the most highly regarded applied behavioural
ecologists worldwide, but also a pioneer in the development of one of the first successful integrated pest and disease management (IPM) programmes for apple
orchards. His research programme was aimed at studying the behavioural ecology
and management of tree-fruit pests, particularly fruit-fly species. His work on the
behaviour of the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella(Walsh), and many other
tephritid species, has led not only to an archetypal behavioural model for those
interested in studying host fi nding and selection, but also to practical behaviourally
based management strategies that fit into IPM, integrated fruit production and
organic production systems. His keen interest in basic behaviour also led to novel
research in areas such as learning and social facilitation. Ron was also a strong
and tireless proponent of IPM strategies, developing theoretical approaches,
working extensively with growers and conducting numerous large-scale experiments throughout the important apple-growing region of New England, USA. |
