Descrizione del libro

This volume provides a particularly timely survey of invertebrate peptide hormones. Interest in invertebrate peptide hormones has focused upon two important and related aspects, both of which are fully covered in this volume. As such, it should have a broad appeal to scientists from a number of disciplines.
