Editorial Reviews

This most recent edition of Advances in Insect Physiology…carries on the series’ rich tradition of offering authoritative updates on timely topics of considerable interest to the insect physiology community.

Three topics are covered in this volume: the insect antenna by Dürr et al., ecdysteroids as defensive chemicals by Dinan and Lafont, and the provocative question of whether insects feel pain by Gibbons et al….

All three reviews are scholarly, state-of-the-art perspectives that are welcome additions to the insect literature.” —The Quarterly Review of Biology
