Comprehensive insect physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology/ Volume 8, Endocrinology II /
Endocrinology II concerns the actions of hormones in insects, complementing Volume 7 which is concerned with the production and chemistry of insect hormones. While the preceding volume is directed mainly towards the insect endocrinologist, this volume has much of intrinsic interest to the general ph...
