Molecular Biology and Genetics of the Lepidoptera
1st Edition
Edited
By Marian R. Goldsmith, Frantisek Marec
May 22, 2017
Numerous and charismatic, the Lepidoptera is one of the most widely studied groups of invertebrates. Advances in molecular tools and genomic techniques have reduced the need for large sizes and mass-rearing, and lepidopteran model systems are increasingly used to illuminate broad-based experimental...
