Beschreibung:
This book explains modern developments securely embedded in a background of the broader, and sometimes older, aspects of insect biological rhythms. A general introduction explains the genetics and molecular biology of circadian rhythmicity. Insect Clocks, 3e reveals its latest discovery in rhythmic phenomena ranging from short period through daily period cycles of behavior, physiology and biochemistry. There are excellent accounts of the 'wet' physiology of circadian systems and mathematical modelling of circadian rhythms.
Glossary and list of symbols. 1. Introduction: rhythms and clocks. 2. Circadian rhythms of activity in individual insects. 3. Circadian rhythms of activity in populations of insects. 4. Circadian rhythms: genes and the feedback loop. 5. Physiology of circadian systems (C.G.H. Steel, X. Vafopoulou). 6. The multioscillator circadian system. 7. Quantitative models for insect clocks (R.D. Lewis). 8. Circadian rhythms: photoreceptor and clock location. 9. Photoperiodism and seasonal cycles of development. 10. The photoperiodic response. 11. Circadian rhythms in photoperiodism. 12. The photoperiodic counter. 13. Photoperiodic time measurement: the clock-counter mechanism. 14. Photoperiodic photoreceptors and clock location. 15. Other types of insect clocks. 16. Clock complexity: the way forward? References. Index.
