Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 on Postembryonic Development deals with such topics as life cycles, structural analysis, imaginal discs, cuticular proteins, intercellular communication, polytene chromosomes, muscle structure and maturation, and regeneration. The chapters show that generality of cell development is to be found in insects, in contrast to the more specialized cells of vertebrates. The way that insect cells preserve their relationships to one another in simple geometries within tubes and sheets has allowed experiments that have given the first records of segmentally repeating gradients and compartments, the first quantitative accounts of the way that cells are coupled, the first descriptions of the remodelling of gap junctions and the modulation of junctional conductivity by hormones. This volume provides up-to-date accounts that will be of value not only to entomologists but also to all researchers in cell and developmental biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 25 years insect pharmacology has grown from a fledgling subject to one that occupies a major field of science. Volume ll reviews insect pharmacology past and present and effectively captures the growing confidence which imbues the world of the insect pharmacologist. It contains l5 chapters written in authoritative fashion by leading scientists and is fully illustrated and referenced. Insect preparations are proving ideal for resolving problems in pharmacology which have general significance, particularly at the molecular and genetic levels. This volume contains a wealth of data, information and ideas and will therefore be a valuable asset to all in academic or industrial research concerned with the science and control of insects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume details the origins and history of insect endocrinology, from its remarkably intuitive beginnings, through the occasionally circuitous, but ultimately successful, investigations by several generations of endocrinologists who have progressively transformed the field to one characterized by vigor, enthusiasm, and scientific excellence. From the opening chapter by the founder of the field, Sir Vincent Wigglesworth, documenting the origins of this science, to the chapter defining the new investigative area of comparative vertebrate-invertebrate endocrinology, this volume, augmented by volume 8 of this series, presents the evolution of insect endocrinology up to the most recent discoveries with a level of detail that makes it an unsurpassed resource for today's endocrinologist.

Download or read book Comprehensive Insect Physiology Biochemistry and Pharmacology written by Gerald A. Kerkut and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 13 contains the cumulative species, author and subject indexes covering the 12 text volumes of Comprehensive Insect Physiology, Biochemistry & Pharmacology. Compiled by a team of expert indexers and covering 5000 species, 30000 authors, in both the text and the bibliographies, and 20000 subject entries, this final volume allows complete access to the wealth of knowledge contained in the text volumes. In addition the species index has been cross-referenced to include up-to-date changes in insect nomenclature, an aid to research in itself. The indexes thus provide a comprehensive means of gaining access to areas of interest both within one specific area or in the multitude of areas covered by this series. In this respect it is an invaluable tool not only for searches of the entomological literature of the past 30 years but also as a key to all areas of present and future work. It will be a major asset to all groups concerned with research into all aspects of entomology.
