| Summary: | This volume of 'Advances in Insect Physiology' focuses on the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, as a model organism for studying insect development and reproduction, particularly in an endocrine context. The book discusses key hormones such as juvenile hormones and ecdysteroids, and their roles in various physiological processes. It also covers non-coding RNAs like miRNAs and piRNAs and their biological functions. The text emphasizes the German cockroach's significance in comparative biology, noting its sensitivity to RNA interference and its utility in functional genomics. The book is intended for researchers and students in the field of entomology and comparative biology, providing insights into the evolutionary aspects of insect physiology. |
