Advances in Insect Physiology, Volume 61 highlights new advances in
the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on
a variety of timely topics, including Acoustic signaling in
Orthoptera, Sound production in Drosophila melanogaster, and
Communication by surface borne mechanical waves in insects.
Advances in Arthropod Repellents offers the most current knowledge
on arthropod repellents. This area of study is quickly evolving as
mosquito- and tick-borne diseases become more prevalent worldwide.
Written by global arthropod repellent experts, this book begins by
delving into molecule discovery and assay development that is
followed by the latest research and investigations of repellent
developments and effects. The book then offers readers a look into
the global field, semi-field, and laboratory trials using various
insect repellents, ranging from Africa, Australia, Europe, South
America and the United States. Lastly, it examines the future of
spatial repellents and expert insight. This book is a valuable
resource for entomologists and vector control researchers and
practitioners. Public health officials and developers in private
pest control companies, as well as readers in academia will find
this a useful resource to learn the latest information available on
controlling the spread of arthropod-borne diseases with repellents.
In tandem with the recent surge in interest by various industry
players in meliponiculture that see the rapid expansion of the
stingless industry globally, there is a need to disseminate new
knowledge and research findings in stingless beekeeping. The demand
for honey-based products and related activities in meliponiculture
opens many opportunities and new challenges in the stingless bee
industry that require answers and solutions. Recent Advances in
Global Meliponiculture highlights the most recent work on
meliponine and meliponiculture. It disseminates information, shares
recent works, and fosters a global network on stingless bee
research. Covering topics such as pollination services, vertical
hive technology, and honey applications, this premier reference
source is an essential resource for practitioners, meliponists,
apiarists, students and educators of higher education, librarians,
researchers, and academicians.
Advances in Insect Physiology Volume 60 highlights new advances in
the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on
a variety of timely topics, including The Steroid, Ecdysis
Triggering Hormone, Juvenile Hormone Signaling Triad in Development
and Reproduction, A Decade of Teasing Apart the Juvenile Hormone
Receptor, Evolutionary Physiology of Peptidergic Signaling, Recent
Advances in Neuroendocrine Regulation of Insect Excretory Systems,
Recent Advances in Ecdysteroid Research in Insects, and Regulation
and Mechanisms of Sleep in Drosophila.
