Description
This volume presents the latest research on herbivores, aquatic and terrestrial mammals and insects. The Second Edition, written almost
entirely by new authors, effectively complements the initial work. It includes advances in molecular biology and microbiology, ecology,
and evolutionary theory that have been achieved since the first edition was published in 1979. The book also incorporates relatively
new methodologies in the area of molecular biology, like protein purification and gene cloning. Volume II,
Ecological and Evolutionary
Processes, also opens up entirely new subjects: The discussions of interactions have expanded to include phenomena at higher
trophic levels, such as predation and microbial processing and other environmental influences.
Both this and Volume I,
The Chemical
Participants, will be of interest to chemists, biochemists, plant and insect ecologists, evolutionary biologists, physiologists,
entomologists, and agroecologists interested in both crop and animal science.
Audience:
Researchers and graduate students in plant and animal biochemistry, entomology, ecology, and agriculture and evolutionary biologists, chemicalecologists, and natural product chemists.
