About the Book
Insect Development and Evolution offers a comprehensive exploration of the developmental biology and evolutionary history of insects, one of the most diverse and successful groups of organisms on Earth. The book examines the processes that govern insect growth, metamorphosis, segmentation, organ formation, and reproductive strategies, while connecting these developmental mechanisms to evolutionary patterns.
It discusses comparative morphology, embryological development, hormonal regulation, and genetic control of development, helping readers understand how evolutionary changes have shaped insect diversity. By integrating classical entomology with modern evolutionary and developmental biology (evo-devo), the book provides deep insights into the origins and adaptive radiation of insect groups.
Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of entomology, zoology, life sciences, and agricultural sciences, this volume also serves as a valuable reference for researchers interested in insect systematics, phylogeny, and developmental evolution.
