| 书目名称 | Regulatory Mechanisms in Insect Feeding | | 编辑 | R. F. Chapman,Gerrit Boer | | 视频video | | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | The only book to deal comprehensively with insect feeding was published by C. T. Brues in 1946. His Insect Dietary was an account of insect feeding habits. Since that time there has been a revolution in biology, and almost all aspects of our understanding of insect feeding have expanded to an extent and into areas that would have been unthinkable in Brues‘ day. Yet, our book does not replace Insect Dietary but, instead, complements it, because our aim is to bring together information on the mechanisms by which food quality and quantity are regulated. We deliberately focus attention on the feeding process; to include food-finding would have required a much larger book and would have moved the focus away from more proximate mechanisms. This book is dedicated to the late Vincent G. Dethier. As a pioneer in studying the physiological basis of animal behavior, he focused on regulation of feeding in flies and caterpillars. His work on the blowfly, together with that by his many students andco-workers, still provides the most completely described mechanism of insect feeding. The citation of his work in almost every chapter in this book illustrates the importance of his findings and ideas | | 出版日期 | Book 1995 | | 关键词 | development; entomology; insect; physiology; zoology | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-1775-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-5715-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-1775-7 | | copyright | Chapman & Hall 1995 |
