Appendix (Tables of homology between morphological terms used in descriptions of morphology in insects of different orders). 330 $aThis book addresses microinsects, their structure and their differences from larger relatives. Moreover, it discusses structural changes that accompany extreme diminution in living organisms, evolutionary inventions that help insects to live in the microworld, and factors that limit the size of animals. It also takes a careful look at the potential benefits of the study of microinsects for solving biotechnological and fundamental scientific problems. Miniaturization is not only a trend in technology: it is also one of the trends in the evolution of life. Many of the problems modern engineers are still struggling with were solved by nature millions of years ago. The world of microscopic organisms, invisible to the naked eye, is all around us. Microinsects ? the extremely diverse range of miniature insects less than a millimeter long ? are one of the most intriguing components of this microworld. Having evolved to the size of unicellular organisms, the smallest insects managed not only to preserve their structural complexity, but also to evolve some novel features not found in larger insects. 606 $aAnatomy 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aInvertebrates 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aAnimal Anatomy / Morphology / Histology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25015 606 $aAnimal Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030 606 $aInvertebrates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25058 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 615 0$aAnatomy. 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aInvertebrates. 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 14$aAnimal Anatomy / Morphology / Histology. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aInvertebrates. 615 24$aAnimal Ecology. 676 $a571.31 700 $aPolilov$b Alexey A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062293 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910135974903321 996 $aAt the Size Limit - Effects of Miniaturization in Insects$92524201 997 $aUNINA
