Insect Infection and Immunity: Evolution, Ecology, and Mechanisms by Jens Rolff and Stuart Reynolds

"A significant contribution and an excellent resource to anyone interested in the growing field of ecological immunology. It is unique in that it integrates previously disjointed camps - researchers interested in mechanistic immunology and those interested in evolutionary ecology - into one, mostly cohesive approach. As such, the text should help settle the needless, ongoing, polarized debate amongst researchers. For those of us in the field, the timing of this work is perfect."--Myrmecological News

"A useful introduction for scientists unfamiliar with insect immunity and, for those already familiar with the field, a useful update on recent research and a source of often novel, sometimes speculative, but always thought-provoking ideas. Its cross-disciplinary nature should appeal to both immunologists and evolutionary biologists."--Trends in Ecology and Evolution

"A valuable book. It demonstrates our current depth of understanding of immune signaling pathways in model insects and some of the differences between insect species, and highlights the growing appreciation of the effects of genetic, physiological, behavioral, and other variables on immunity in insects. It should be as welcome to researchers as to advanced students."--Integrative and Comparative Biology
