Recent studies have shown that genetic polymorphisms play an important role in structuring the seasonal life cycles of insects, complementing an earlier emphasis on the effects of environmental factors. This book presents current ideas and recent research on insect life--cycle polymorphism in a series of carefully prepared chapters by international experts, covering the full breadth of the subject in order to give an up-to-date view of how life cycles are controlled and how they evolve. By consolidating our view of insect life--cycle polymorphism in this way, the book provides a staging point for further enquiries. The volume will be of interest to a wide variety of entomologists and other biologists interested in the control and evolution of life cycles and in understanding the extraordinarily complex ecological strategies of insects and other organisms.

Volume 2 on Postembryonic Development deals with such topics as life cycles, structural analysis, imaginal discs, cuticular proteins, intercellular communication, polytene chromosomes, muscle structure and maturation, and regeneration. The chapters show that generality of cell development is to be found in insects, in contrast to the more specialized cells of vertebrates. The way that insect cells preserve their relationships to one another in simple geometries within tubes and sheets has allowed experiments that have given the first records of segmentally repeating gradients and compartments, the first quantitative accounts of the way that cells are coupled, the first descriptions of the remodelling of gap junctions and the modulation of junctional conductivity by hormones. This volume provides up-to-date accounts that will be of value not only to entomologists but also to all researchers in cell and developmental biology.

This review of literature includes an introduction on the origin of the olive tree and lists 116 species of insects and 30 species of mites known to infest it. It treats the geographical distribution, host plants, feeding habits, voltinism and seasonal history of 34 species of phytophagous insects as well as of 7 species of mites. Most of these are monophagous or oligophagous and closely associated with the olive tree. Of the species covered, 16 are Homoptera, one Hemiptera, one Thysanoptera, five Coleoptera, four Diptera, seven Lepidoptera, six Eriophyoidea and one Tetranychoidea. The review shows that all species, except one, have a seasonal dormancy and for most of them diapause is certain or reasonably suspected to occur. Seasonal displacement does occur in a number of species, especially shortly before or after dormancy. Differences of opinion on seasonal history between authors are pointed out and conclusions drawn based on the most convincing papers. Suggestions are made for further research on important, yet neglected aspects of the life history of olive arthropods.

It helps to explain such notable phenomena as castes in social insects, phase shifts in locusts, alternation of generations in aphids, color polymorphism in butterflies, allometry and horn length in beetles, and diapause, estivation, quiescence, acclimation, learning, migration, host plant switching, alternative mating tactics, and maternal effects, in a wide range of insects. This book documents the plasticity inherent in insects. In a companion volume, Phenotypic Plasticity of Insects: Mechanisms and Consequences we explore the underlying causes, process, and consequences of plasticity."--Jacket.
