| General note |
The Insects is about how insects function as animals; it brings together basic anatomy and physiology and relates this to behaviour. It emphasizes the roles of different functional systems in the context of the whole organism using studies of many different species as illustrations. Unlike other texts, it does not dwell on classification, but takes an in-depth look at physiology. As such it provides all biologists, even those without entomological training, with a basic understanding of how insects work. A long-awaited update of a well established standard text and respected reference work for students and researchers in zoology, entomology and physiology, it has been rewritten throughout, whilst retaining the successful structure of the earlier editions. Improved illustrations have been augmented with electron micrographs, and expanded reference sections will make it a valuable addition to all biologists’ bookshelves. R.F. CHAPMAN is a professor in the Division of Neurobiology at the University of Arizona. He has extensive teaching and research experience in the field and in the laboratory, and has worked in Zambia, Ghana, the UK, and Australia as well as in the USA. He has also written Hostplant Selection by Phytophagous Insects (1994) with E.A. Bernays, and has edited Biology of Grasshoppers (1990) with A. Joern and Regulatory Mechanisms in Insect Feeding (1995) with G. de Boer. |
