This timely volume presents a comprehensive overview of the
behavioral and physiological mechanisms underlying insect feeding.
The single source for up-to-date information on the subject, it
features contributions from the most authoritative scientists in
the field worldwide. Taking an accessible approach focusing on the
sequential stages of the feeding process, Regulatory Mechanisms in
Insect Feeding explores the principles regulating feeding, and it
offers information necessary for the development of more effective
and environmentally safe methods to control the feeding of pest
insects. The authors incorporate a spectrum of information in areas
ranging from neurophysiology to insect control.An inclusive
reference that reflects recent expansion and advances in the field,
this book * considers the problems encountered by insects when
feeding on different types of food, as well as their adaptations
for dealing with the problems * introduces the cyclic nature of
feeding activity and its components and provides the framework for
the discussion of various control mechanisms * discusses the
underlying regulatory mechanisms of feeding in both the short and
long terms in insects with a diversity of feeding habits *
synthesizes concepts and details of the basic mechanisms underlying
insect feeding behavior that are essential for the development of
pest management methods. Regulatory Mechanisms in Insect Feeding is
the ideal text for graduate courses in entomology and zoology with
a special focus on insect behavior, physiology, neurobiology, and
control. It is also a valuable resource for ecologists interested
in insect-plant and insect-animal interactions, for scientists
concerned with the mechanisms behind the physiology and behavior of
feeding, and for those working in crop protection and pest
management.
