Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, seven of the chapters deal with feeding and diet, which is reasonable since insects consume an estimated l5-20% of all the world's planted crops. Many insects even have a specialized larval feeding stage that usually occupies a different ecological niche to the adult and so does not compete for the adult's food stock. Other chapters describe the means by which insects maintain their water balance, nitrogen balance and temperature balance under a range of conditions. These involve regulation by hormonal and behavioural systems that are also described here. The l4 chapters are all extensively illustrated and referenced and therefore provide excellent summaries of current knowledge. They will be of great value to entomologists, zoologists and biologists in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanded and updated, this second edition of a bestselling book challenges conventional entomological wisdom with the latest research and analytical interpretations. Encouraging independent evaluation of the data and allowing for the extrapolation of major concepts across species, this indispensable text establishes a thorough understanding of the physiological and biochemical functions and adaptations that have made insects one of the most successful groups of living organisms on the planet. Comprehensive in scope, yet organized to provide immediate access to specific information, Insect Physiology and Biochemistry, Second Edition — Features new chapters on insect immunity and diapause Expands information on the dynamics and mechanics of flight and on color vision Details all major physiological functions Examines all stages of the lifecycle and development Highlights the relationship of insect physiology and behavior Discusses environment and ecology as determinants in physiological and biochemical adaptations Supplies more than 250 illustrations, including electron and transmission electron micrographs Contains nearly 2000 references and Websites Includes a new, four page color insert Following the tradition of its bestselling predecessor, this edition provides working scientists and students with an engaging and authoritative guide to the most current findings in the field. James L. Nation is Professor Emeritus in the Entomology and Nematology Department at the University of Florida at Gainesville. He taught insect physiology at the graduate level for 42 years. His research includes nitrogen excretion, pheromones, cuticular hydrocarbons, and insect nutrition. He is currently editor of Florida Entomologist.

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.

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.
