    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The microbiome of insects is intimately involved in their physiology, ecology, and evolution. This volume summarizes what is known of the microbiome of many different insect groups. For example, termites are able to digest cellulose thanks to their gut microbes. Honeybees make honey, in part, with the help of microbes.  Chapters covering silkworms, termites, locusts, ticks, honeybees, and mosquitos by leading researchers are all included.
