The Biotic Associations of Cockroaches

"The Biotic Associations of Cockroaches" by Louis M. Roth and Edwin R. Willis is a scientific exploration into the lives of cockroaches, detailing their relationships with other creatures like parasites and predators. The authors pull together existing research to give readers a complete look at how cockroaches fit into the environment and how they affect human health. The beginning of the book explains why this study is important, pointing out that while we know a lot about some cockroaches, there's much more to learn about how they live and interact with other organisms. The book prepares readers for a deep dive into the biological studies. The writers explain that better understanding in this field could lead to new ways to control cockroach populations and help us better understand nature.
