Insect Taste offers an accessible overview to some of the many advances in insect taste research.

The book covers how insects solve the basic problem of taste gustatory processing, from detection and transduction, through coding to the generation of behaviour and the evolutionary biology underpinning gustatory learning.

Each chapter is written by a respected scientist providing both graduate and post-doctoral researchers with an excellent account of the various issues related to insect taste.
