Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endocrinology II concerns the actions of hormones in insects, complementing Volume 7 which is concerned with the production and chemistry of insect hormones. While the preceding volume is directed mainly towards the insect endocrinologist, this volume has much of intrinsic interest to the general physiologist. It deals with the regulation of metabolism, reproduction, cuticle properties, and certain aspects of behaviour from a systems point of view and amply documents how hormones have provided basic insights into the functioning of such systems. Interference in endocrine regulation could provide future systems for insect control and this volume will provide the foundation on which the future formulation of these strategies is based. More information on diverse aspects of insect hormone action is brought together here than in any previous single work and this volume will therefore be a valuable reference source for many years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The underlying theme of this volume is the understanding of the molecules and processes important in the primary metabolism of insects. The 19 chapters provide both rich historical perspectives and timely reviews of current research, as well as showing the extent of progress to be expected in the near future, including the application of advanced techniques now used for the study of microbial and mammalian processes. The major themes of metabolism, proteins and nucleic acids, and biochemical events in the nervous system each have several chapters devoted to them, but specific topics such as pigments, toxins, and aging are also covered in detail. This extensive volume is therefore an invaluable source of information not only for entomologists but also for all scientists whose work involves insect biochemistry, including zoologists, biochemists, and molecular biologists and geneticists.

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: 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.

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 346 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.
