Contents:
Foreword -- Acknowledgements -- Contents -- 1. Morphology -- 2. Reproduction, development and immature stages -- 3. Glossary -- 4. Traditional and modern techniques in insect morphology -- 5. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on morphology -- 6. The orders of Hexapoda -- 7. Literature -- Taxonomic Index.
Summary: This handbook provides an in-depth treatment of insect morphology. The first part presents an up-to-date overview of insect morphology with detailed drawings, brilliant scanning electron micrographs and 3-D reconstructions as interactive PDFs. This is complemented by a chapter on innovative morphological techniques (e.g., µ-computer tomography, 3-D modeling) and a comprehensive morphological glossary. The second part treats the state of the art in insect systematics and includes taxon-specific morphological information for all orders. Systematics are treated formally, with for example the arguments for relationships ("apomorphies") always listed explicitly. The work is a useful reference for students and researchers working in different fields of biology and a must for those dealing with insects from an evolutionary perspective.
