Insect Biochemistry and Function

Insect Biochemistry and Function edited by D. J. Candy, B. A. Kilby.

There has been a considerable upsurge in interest in insect bio­ chemistry and physiology in recent years and this has been reflected in a notable expansion in the number of original papers in this field. Whereas insect physiology has tended to receive ample attention from reviewers, the same has no...
