Comprehensive Molecular Insect Science, Second Edition is a unique resource that provides extensive review articles on contemporary topics in insect science and entomology. It covers crucial new subjects such as genetic control, pollinators, and the effects of climate change and environmental shifts on insect physiology and molecular biology. Every section includes thorough discussions on the influence of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics in the field, which has seen significant advancements since the previous edition. The book bridges gaps between disciplines, helping readers grasp the fundamentals of insect science and appreciate its applications, such as in environmental control.

Structured chapters guide readers, offering references and practical resources like methods. This authoritative reference is vital for understanding and managing the future of our civilization, intertwined with the fate of insects and flora on our planet.

Naoki Yamanaka is a Professor of Entomology at the University of California, Riverside. With foundational training in biochemistry and molecular biology using the silkworm as a model, he now leverages advanced molecular genetic approaches to investigate core mechanisms of insect physiology. His research centers on neuroendocrine signaling pathways that govern development and reproduction in fruit flies and other insect species. Dr. Yamanaka is a recipient of the Pew Biomedical Scholars Award (2017), NIH Director’s New Innovator Award (2018), and Japan Academy Medal (2022). Peter Atkinson has been a professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of California, Riverside, since 1997. Prior to this, he was a Senior Research Scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Canberra, Australia. The focus of his research has been the development of genetic control technologies in insect species of medical and agricultural importance.
