Until recently, insects were viewed as rigidly programmed automatons;  now, however, it is recognized that they can learn and that their  behavior is plastic. This fundamental change in viewpoint is causing a  re-examination of all aspects of the relationship between insects and  their environment. This change in perspective is occurring at a time  of heightened interest in brain function in both vertebrates and  invertebrates. Insects potentially play a major role in this expanding  area. Because of their experimental tractability and genetic  diversity, they provide unique opportunities for testing hypotheses on  the ecology and evolution of learning. As organisms of economic  importance, they are perennial objects of research by both basic and  applied scientists. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eInsect Learning\u003c\/em\u003e covers both social and non-social insects from  multiple perspectives. The book covers mechanisms; syntheses of work  on physiology, behavior, and ecology; and micro- and macroevolution.  The concluding section discusses future directions for research,  including applications to pest management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461362166\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-2814-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 398\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398789525644,"sku":"9781461362166","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461362166.jpg?v=1755444143","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461362166","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
