Insect Physiology

Insects are the most diverse of all organisms on earth. Their general body plan allows for this tremendous diversification in form and also it is made up of three main body regions, the head, thorax and abdomen. It is currently undergoing a revolution with the increased application of molecular biological techniques to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the physiological responses to insect cells. This book provides up-to-date reviews on topical subjects of importance to all invertebrate physiologists and neurobiologists and contains increased coverage on the molecular biology of insect physiology.
