"""This is a serious research volume for biologists studying behavioral evolution and, of course, for entomologists. The editors have gathered an array of work from scholars residing in several countries and across different subdisciplines. Numerous drawings and color photographs support the research described. There are many excellent portions of the volume, and anyone especially interested in insect reproduction would certainly benefit from its use."" — F. W. Yow, emeritus, Kenyon College, September 2023 issue of CHOICE"
