This fundamental change in viewpoint is causing are-examination of all aspects of the relationship between insects andtheir environment. This change in perspective is occurring at a timeof heightened interest in brain function in both vertebrates andinvertebrates. Insects potentially play a major role in this expandingarea. Because of their experimental tractability and geneticdiversity, they provide unique opportunities for testing hypotheses onthe ecology and evolution of learning. As organisms of economicimportance, they are perennial objects of research by both basic andapplied scientists. ..Insect Learning. covers both social and non-social insects frommultiple perspectives. The book covers mechanisms; syntheses of workon physiology, behavior, and ecology; and micro- and macroevolution.The concluding section discusses future directions for research,including applications to pest management. | 出版日期 | Book 1993 | 关键词 | Adaptation; Ecology; Pet; behavior; behavioral ecology; environment; evolution; insect; learning; morphology; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-2814-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-6216-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-2814-2 | copyright | Routledge, Chapman & Hall Inc. 1993 |
