| Description: |
An introduction to thermoregulation in insects, which traces the history of research methods and discusses recent findings. Since the 1970s, thermoregulation has been examined and thoroughly documented in all of the major insect groups. |
| Synopsis: |
"From one man's persistent and elegant probing of the temperature biology of bees, we have been led to a deeper understanding of the whole biology of many insect taxa, and of their interactions with ecological and environmental stresses: all who work at the interfaces of physiology, ecology and behaviour have cause to be grateful, and all should certainly read this book." (Trends in Ecology & Evolution) "An outstanding source of information, and can be read with profit and satisfaction by the professional biologist and interested amateur alike." (Nature) |
