Gillott's thorough yet clear writing style continues to keep entomology near the top of the class as a text for
senior undergraduates, and for graduate students and professionals seeking an introduction to specific entomological
topics. The author's long held belief that an introductory entomology course should present a balanced treatment
of the subject is reflected in the continued arrangement of the book in four sections:
- Evolution and Diversity,
- Anatomy and Physiology,
- Reproduction and Development, and
- Ecology.
For the third edition, all chapters have been updated. This includes not only the addition of new information
and concepts but also the reduction or exclusion of material no longer considered 'mainstream', so as to keep
the book at a reasonable size.
Based on exciting discoveries made during the previous decade, the topics of insect evolutionary relationships,
semiochemicals, gas exchange, immune responses (including those of parasites and parasitoids), flight, and
the management of pests have received particular attention in the preparation of the third edition. Overall, more
than 30 new or significantly revised figures have been incorporated.
Written for senior undergraduates, graduate students and professionals seeking an introduction to specific
entomological topics.
