Insect Metamorphosis: From Natural History to Regulation of
Development and Evolution explores the origin of metamorphosis, how
it evolved, and how it is it regulated. The book discusses insect
metamorphosis as a key innovation in insect evolution. With most of
the present biodiversity on Earth composed of metamorphosing
insects-approximately 1 million species currently described, with
another 10-30 million still waiting to be discovered, the book
delves into misconceptions and past treatments. In addition, the
topic of integrating insect metamorphosis into the theory of
evolution by natural selection as noted by Darwin in his On the
Origin of Species is also discussed. Users will find this to be a
comprehensive and updated review on insect metamorphosis, covering
biological, physiological and molecular facets, with an emphasis on
evolutionary aspects.
