Fine hardback in thor. vg. to nr. fine dw. Presents a wide range of information on the insect endocrine system. Particular attention is given to the mechanism of action of insect hormones during growth and metamorphosis, with special reference to the functioning of the organism as a whole. The role of insect hormones in reproduction, diapause and the regulation of metabolism and behaviour is discussed. The prospects for insect hormones as insecticides are also considered.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Stanley Friedman University of Illinois Urbana, Illinois A perusal of the table of contents of this short symposium on Insect Endocrinology might lead those who are generally unin structed in Fraenkel's activities to wonder as to our choice of papers. Our justification is based upon our effort to concentrate the symposium upon a single area in which he has had an extended involvement: namely, the metamorphic molt in flies. In so doing, we immediately recognized the enormous humoral and physiological ramifications, both direct and indirect, of such an interest. Our selection of these papers is an attempt to present the broad picture with a few quick strokes. The first offering, by J. H. Willis, et al., is a direct outgrowth of Fraenkel's work with Rudall on the chemistry of the puparium. Their investigations on the structure of fly cuticle and its changes at pupariation (Fraenkel and Rudall, 1940, Proc. Roy. Soc. London (~) 129:1; 1947, ibid, 134:111), provided quanti tative data which have,since that time, influenced our ideas con cerning cuticular changes at metamorphosis and are presently at the center of the controversy over the mechanism of cuticular hardening and darkening (see Hillerton and Vincent, 1979, l. Ins. Physiol.…

Dust jacket with a small tear to the upper front panel, mild shelfwear. -- This book, a landmark synthesis of insect hormonal biology, offers a deep and integrative account of the mechanisms underlying insect development, reproduction, metabolism, and behaviour - making it an enduring reference for both researchers and advanced students in entomology, physiology, and related life sciences. Across nine comprehensive chapters, Cymborowski blends extensive original research with critical engagement with global literature to explore the role of hormones in the life cycle of insects. The book opens with a conceptual and historical introduction to insect endocrinology, including key problems such as hormonal feedback, circadian rhythms, and molecular regulation of metamorphosis. A detailed anatomical survey follows, mapping the structure and function of the neuroendocrine system - from neurosecretory cells and corpora allata to the prothoracic glands. Chapter 3 outlines a broad range of technical approaches - including endocrine gland ablation, parabiosis, in vitro culture, autoradiography, and multiple bioassay protocols - that together provide a foundation for experimental endocrinology in invertebrate systems. Chapters 4-8 present richly detailed discussions of how specific hormones, including PTTH, juvenile hormone, ecdysone, bursicon, and others, orchestrate developmental transitions, reproductive processes, diapause, and behavioural changes. These analyses synthesise hormonal interactions within ecological and physiological contexts, highlighting the interplay between endocrine signalling and environmental factors like temperature, photoperiod, and nutrition. The final chapter turns to applied entomology, addressing the use of insect hormones and analogues as a new generation of insecticides. Cymborowski offers a prescient discussion of juvenoids, ecdysoids, and hormone inhibitors, evaluating their mechanisms of action. With its blend of classical theory, methodological rigour, and applied relevance, Insect Endocrinology continues to be a valuable resource for anyone working in invertebrate physiology, developmental biology, or integrated pest management. -- Contents [Summary & References in each chapter]: 1.
