Bioassays with Arthropods

BIOASSAYS WITH ARTHROPODS, 3E is an excellent desktop reference and guide for use in designing, conducting, and analyzing a broad range of bioassays that investigate a wide variety of chemistries and simulated environmental treatments. The bioassay is the most important technique for determining the potency of a physical, chemical or biological agent by means of a biological indicator and is used to test the efficiency and safety of new products (e.g. Insecticides). Written in an entertaining, succinct style, this oft-cited reference has become a bible for those who design and/or conduct and interpret bioassays and will continue to be the only book to explain the statistical bases and analyses for each kind of quantal response (e.g., dose response) bioassays.
