The article discusses advances in osmoregulation and excretion with emphasis on how
multicellular animals in different osmotic environments regulate their milieu intérieur …

Insecticides have played and still fulfil a very important role in sustainable production of
food, animal feed and also as protection against disease vectors. They act to suppress …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Simple Summary The Malpighian Tubules (MTs) are well known and studied as the main
excretory organs in most insects. However, MTs, despite their quite simple morphology, can …

To predict the effects of changing climates on insect distribution and abundance, a clear
understanding of the mechanisms that underlie critical thermal limits is required. In insects …

Bacterial endosymbionts of insects play a central role in upgrading the diet of their hosts. In
certain cases, such as aphids and tsetse flies, endosymbionts complement the metabolic …

Insects are frequently exposed to toxic compounds either naturally produced by host plants
to prevent feeding damage or artificially manufactured by man to control herbivores and …

Many insects, including Drosophila, succumb to the physiological effects of chilling at
temperatures well above those causing freezing. Low temperature causes a loss of …

While genome sequencing has expanded our knowledge of symbiosis, role assignment
within multi-species microbiomes remains challenging due to genomic redundancy and the …

Low temperature tolerance is the main predictor of variation in the global distribution and
performance of insects, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying cold tolerance variation …
