| Abstract
|
:
|
Physiological Systems in Insects describes the contributions of molecular biology, neuroendocrinology, biochemistry, and genetics that provide a better understanding of insects. All chapters in the new edition are updated, with major revisions to those covering the swiftly evolving areas of endocrinology, developmental and behavioral biology, and the central nervous system. The new edition includes the latest details from the literature on hormone receptors, behavioral genetics, insect genomics, neural integration, and much more. Organized according to insect physiological functions, this book covers foundational research as well as recent information that has influenced our understanding of the patterns and processes of insects, and is a valuable addition to the collections of both students studying insects and researchers employing them as model systems. -- Back cover.
