Insect Sex Pheromone Research and Beyond
This book provides a complete overview of cutting-edge research on insect sex pheromones and pheromone communication systems. The coverage ranges from the chemistry, biosynthesis, and reception of sex pheromones to the control of odor-source searching behavior, and from molecules to the application of research findings to robotics. The book both summarizes the progress of studies conducted using Bombyx mori and several groups of moths and reviews sex pheromones of some non-lepidopteran insect groups of agricultural importance. Attention is drawn to recent findings on elaborate neural information processing in the brain in male moths and to the importance of olfactory receptors specifically tuned to sex pheromone molecules. Featuring contributions from leading experts on the topic, this book will be a unique and valuable resource for researchers and students in the fields of entomology, chemical ecology, insect physiology and biochemistry, evolution, biomimetics, and bioengineering. In addition to researchers, general insect lovers will find the book fascinating for its descriptions of the marvelous abilities of insects and the underlying mechanisms involved.
Chemical Ecology of Insects
Insects have evolved very unique and interesting tactics using chemical signals to survive. Chemical ecology illustrates the working of the biological network by means of chemical analyses. Recent advances in analytical technology have opened the way to a better understanding of the more complicated and abyssal interactions of insects with other organisms including plants and microbes. This book covers recent research on insects and chemical communications and presents the current status about challenges faced by chemical ecologists for the management of pests in agriculture and human health.
Genome Assembly
This detailed volume examines a wide range of disciplines involving genome assembly and its uses. Covering a diversity of taxa including bacteria, archaea, viruses, animals, plants, and fungi, the book demonstrates the similarities and differences in genome assembly methods and biological differences across those groups, while also describing the latest advances in modern sequencing strategies as well as techniques in the rapidly growing fields of meta-genomics and pan-genomics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include the kind of detail to ensure successful results in new research. Authoritative and practical, Genome Assembly serves as an ideal guide for researchers pursuing genome analysis, a highly active area of global biosciences research.
