Physiological Systems in Insects

Beschreibung

Insects have specialised physiological systems that support their survival and functions. Their respiratory system uses a network of small tubes called tracheae to deliver oxygen directly to tissues and remove carbon dioxide, efficiently supporting their high metabolic rates without lungs. Digestion in insects involves specialised organs, where food is stored, broken down and absorbed. Different species have adapted mouthparts for their specific diets, whether for chewing plants or sucking fluids. Reproduction in insects varies widely, often involving complex behaviours for finding mates and laying eggs in suitable habitats. This system helps maintain the insect's internal balance of water and salts. These physiological systems allow insects to thrive in diverse habitats and ecological niches, contributing to their ecological success and evolutionary adaptability. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of physiological systems in insects and the recent research in this field. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field.
