Insect Movement: Mechanisms and Consequences : Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society's 20th Symposium, Svazek 20Royal Entomological Society of London Symposium 1999, Royal Entomological Society of London. Symposium CABI Pub., 2001 - Počet stran: 458 Knowledge of insect movement, particularly of flight, is crucial to our understanding of the great ecological and evolutionary success of insects. The last 20 years have seen many advances in this subject area. New fields have arisen, such as metapopulation theory, and dramatic developments have taken place in methods of studying movement, as a result of new techniques in molecular biology and radar monitoring. There have also been advances in our knowledge of flight-related physiology and behaviour. This book, which is based on the main papers presented at the Royal Entomological Society's 20th Symposium held in September 1999, brings us up to date with these developments. It contains chapters on: It is essential reading for entomologists, and of interest to those researching animal behaviour, physiology, ecology and genetics. |
