| Summary |
This textbook provides an in-depth treatment of the structures and the phylogeny of the megadiverse Hexapoda. It presents an up-to-date overview of general insect morphology with detailed drawings, scanning electron micrographs, and 3-D reconstructions and is a modern synthesis of insect systematics. The work is an invaluable reference for students and researchers of biology and is a must for evolutionary biologists. |
