Description The important developments and achievements in modern insect science since the first edition have led to this new revised, expanded and
retitled reference work. New chapters in this edition include the ecdysone receptor, lipocalins, bacterial toxins, etc. Each article
may also be read independently, as a review of that particular subject.
Comprehensive Molecular Insect Science also
covers new technologies that have been developed since 1985. The Index Volume will help researchers to track specific subjects and particular
species of insects cited in several volumes.
Also available online via ScienceDirect – featuring extensive browsing, searching, and
internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation
flexible and easy. For more information, pricing options and availability visit www.info.sciencedirect.com.
