andAngelaE.DouglasCornell University, New York

Building on the strengths of Chapman’s original text, this 5th edition has been updated by a team of eminent insect physiologists. The chapters focus on functional systems rather than taxonomic groups, providing a comprehensive understanding of how insects work. It remains the essential text for students, researchers and applied entomologists.Contents: List of contributors; Preface; Acknowledgments; Prologue George C. McGavin; Part I.
