The publication of the extensive seven-volume work
"Comprehensive Molecular Insect Science" provided a complete
reference encompassing important developments and achievements in
modern insect science. One of the most swiftly moving areas in
entomological and comparative research is endocrinology, and this
volume, "Insect Endocrinology, " is designed for those who desire a
comprehensive yet concise work on important aspects of this topic.
Because this area has moved quickly since the original publication,
articles in this new volume are revised, highlighting developments
in the related area since its original publication.
"Insect Endocrinology" covers the mechanism of action of insect
hormones during growth and metamorphosis as well as the role of
insect hormones in reproduction, diapause and the regulation of
metabolism. Contents include articles on the juvenile hormones,
circadian organization of the endocrine system, ecdysteroid
chemistry and biochemistry, as well as new chapters on insulin-like
peptides and the peptide hormone Bursicon. This volume will be of
great value to senior investigators, graduate students,
post-doctoral fellows and advanced undergraduate research students.
It can also be used as a reference for graduate courses and
seminars on the topic. Chapters will also be valuable to the
applied biologist or entomologist, providing the requisite
understanding necessary for probing the more applied research
areas.
Articles selected by the known and respected editor-in-chief of the
original major reference work, Comprehensive Molecular Insect
ScienceNewly revised contributions bring together the latest
research in the quickly moving field of insect endocrinologyReview
of the literature of the past five years is now included, as well
as full use of data arising from the application of molecular
technologies wherever appropriate
