Life scientists are increasingly drawn to the study of comparative
evolutionary biology. Insect Development and Evolution is the first
synthesis of knowledge of insect development within an evolutionary
framework and the first to survey the genetic, molecular, and whole
organism literature. Bruce S. Heming provides a detailed
introduction to the embryonic and postembryonic development of
insects. Topics include: * reproductive systems, * male and female
gametogenesis, * sperm transfer and use, * fertilization, * sex
determination, * parthenogenesis, * embryogenesis, *
postembryogenesis, * hormones, * and the role of ontogeny in insect
evolution.Summaries for each of these topics cover structural
events; comparative aspects (inserted on a phylogeny of the insect
orders); and hormonal, genetic, and molecular causal
analyses.Insect Development and Evolution treats examples
throughout the hexapods with frequent reference to the evolution
and development of other invertebrates. It also compares insects to
vertebrates and places insect development into context with fossil
evidence and earth history. Heming's book will become an essential
tool for students and teachers of entomology. It will also interest
insect systematists and paleontologists, insect behavioral
ecologists, insect pathologists, applied entomologists,
developmental and invertebrate biologists, and all scientists who
use Drosophila as a model
