Ali, Mohamed Ali Mohamed: Ecological and physiological studies on the alfalfa ladybird (Budapest, 1979)
Mohamed Ali Mohamed Ali ECOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE ALFALFA LADYBIRD This work dealing with the dangerous alfalfa ladybird pest differs from the usual insect monographs by its modern ecological approach - the biological phenomena are not merely described and recorded but explanations are sought for them in exact experiments. Illustrated with seventy-three figures and many tables it gives more to the reader than just a summary on the ecology and physiology of an agricultural pest. It is an example to be followed in any similar endeavour, demanded at present both by the expanding large scale agricultural production and by modern ecological research. Akadémiai Kiadó • Budapest
