About this Item

Paperback. This book presents a comprehensive exploration of insect biochemical taxonomy, bridging classical systematics with modern chemical biology. It delves into the structural and functional diversity of enzymes, proteins, pigments, cuticular hydrocarbons, pheromones, and metabolites across insect taxa, emphasizing their taxonomic, ecological, and evolutionary significance. Integrating analytical chemistry with molecular and ecological data, the book highlights how chemical traits-often overlooked in traditional taxonomy-can reveal cryptic species, trace phylogenetic relationships, and map adaptive divergence. With a focus on chemical structures, biosynthetic pathways, and analytical techniques, it offers an integrative framework for researchers and students seeking to understand insect diversity through the lens of biochemistry. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
