Insect Learning is a comprehensive review of a new field. Until
recently, insects were viewed as rigidly programmed automatons;
now, however, it is recognized that they can learn and that their
behavior is plastic. This fundamental change in viewpoint is
causing a re-examination of all aspects of the relationship between
insects and their environment. This change in perspective is
occurring at a time of heightened interest in brain function in
both vertebrates and invertebrates. Insects potentially play a
major role in this expanding area. Because of their experimental
tractability and genetic diversity, they provide unique
opportunities for testing hypotheses on the ecology and evolution
of learning. As organisms of economic importance, they are
perennial objects of research by both basic and applied scientists.
Insect Learning covers both social and non-social insects from
multiple perspectives. The book covers mechanisms; syntheses of
work on physiology, behavior, and ecology; and micro- and
macroevolution. The concluding section discusses future directions
for research, including applications to pest management.
