Physiological Systems in Insects
The second edition of Physiological Systems in Insects reviews the physiological mechanisms that have contributed to the enormous ecological success of insects and their profound importance in human health and agriculture. Because many of these insect systems are similar, if not identical, to those found in vertebrates, insect models have been increasingly used to illustrate and investigate essential biological principles. Expanded references, abundant figures, and the discussion of recent scientific studies provide readers with the basis for a comprehensive understanding of how insect systems work and the feasibility and rationale for using these as model systems in studies of animal physiology and behavior. Key Features: Complete update of a widely-used text for students in entomology and zoology, Reviews recent research that employs molecular techniques to uncover physiological mechanisms, Includes a glossary of physiological terms, New expanded sections on endocrine, developmental, and immune systems, Provides abundant figures derived from scientific reports.
