"Physiological Systems in Insects" discusses the roles of
molecular biology, neuroendocrinology, biochemistry, and genetics
in our understanding of insects. All chapters in the new edition
are updated, with major revisions to those covering swiftly
evolving areas like endocrine, developmental, behavioral, and
nervous systems. The new edition includes the latest details from
the literature on hormone receptors, behavioral genetics, insect
genomics, neural integration, and much more. Organized according to
insect physiological functions, this book is fully updated with the
latest and foundational research that has influenced understanding
of the patterns and processes of insects and is a valuable addition
to the collection of any researcher or student working with
insects.
There are about 10 quintillion insects in the world divided into
more thanone million known species, and some scientists believe
there may be more than 30 million species. As the largest living
group on earth, insects can provide us with insight into
adaptation, evolution, and survival. The internationally respected
third edition of Marc Klowden's standard reference for
entomologists and researchers and textbook for insect physiology
courses provides the most comprehensive analysis of the systems
that make insects important contributors to our environment.
Third edition has been updated with new information in almost every
chapter and new figuresIncludes an extensive up-to-date
bibliography in each chapter Provides a glossary of common
entomological and physiological terms"
