A unique and critical analysis of the wealth of research conducted
on the biology, biochemistry and chemical ecology of the rapidly
growing field of insect cuticular hydrocarbons. Authored by leading
experts in their respective fields, the twenty chapters show the
complexity that has been discovered in the nature and role of
hydrocarbons in entomology. Covers, in great depth, aspects of
chemistry (structures, qualitative and quantitative analysis),
biochemistry (biosynthesis, molecular biology, genetics,
evolution), physiology, taxonomy, and ecology. Clearly presents to
the reader the array of data, ideas, insights and historical
disagreements that have been accumulated during the past half
century. An emphasis is placed on the role of insect hydrocarbons
in chemical communication, especially among the social insects.
Includes the first review on the chemical synthesis of insect
hydrocarbons. The material presented is a major resource for
current researchers and a source of ideas for new researchers.
