Updated and expanded, this new edition of Comprehensive Molecular Insect Science is a unique resource, providing comprehensive review articles on contemporary topics in insect science and entomology. Important new topics include genetic control, pollinators, the impact of climate change, and changing environmental impacts on insect physiology and molecular biology. Each section includes extensive discussion on the impact of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics in the field, which has seen a revolution since publication of the previous edition.This work bridges gaps between disciplines, allows readers to easily learn the fundamentals of insect science and understand its applications e.g. in environmental control. Structured chapters guide the readers, providing links to references and practical resources such as methods.In the decades ahead, the fate of our civilization is intertwined with those of the insects and flora on our planet; a single authoritative reference work on molecular insect science provides an important part of the knowledge needed to act as responsible stewards of the planet.
