Comprehensive insect physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology. Volume 4, Regulation: digestion, nutrition, excretion /
In this volume, seven of the chapters deal with feeding and diet, which is reasonable since insects consume an estimated l5-20% of all the world's planted crops. Many insects even have a specialized larval feeding stage that usually occupies a different ecological niche to the adult and so does...
