Embryogenesis -- Digestion -- Nutrition -- Integument -- Hormones and development -- Diapause -- Intermediary metabolism -- Neuroanatomy -- Neurophysiology -- Muscles -- Insect flight -- Sensory systems -- Vision -- Circulatory system -- Immunity -- Respiration -- Excretion -- Pheromones -- Reproduction. "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." "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."--Jacket. |
