With this aim, the book overviews the types of diets consumed by insects, describing their chemical components demanding digestion and discusses the evolutionary selective pressures on insects associated with feeding. Digestive enzymes are classified and detailed according to their activity on substrates and their evolutionary protein families. The technical details on how to obtain reliable enzymological parameters are discussed. The book reviews the structural changes in enzymes associated with the adaptation of insects to new diets and in avoiding natural plant inhibitors. Midgut features that enhance digestive and nutrient absorption efficiency and their underlying molecular mechanisms are described regarding insects pertaining to key points in evolution. Evolutionary trends of the mechanisms of digestion and nutrient absorption are discussed. 001480756 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 09, 2023). 001480756 650_0 $$aInsects$$xDigestive organs. 001480756 650_0 $$aDigestion. 001480756 650_0 $$aInsects$$xFood. 001480756 650_6 $$aDigestion. 001480756 650_6 $$aInsectes$$xAlimentation. 001480756 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001480756 7001_ $$aFerreira, Clélia,$$eauthor. 001480756 7001_ $$aSilva, Carlos P.,$$eauthor. 001480756 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTerra, Walter R.$$tMolecular Physiology and Evolution of Insect Digestive Systems$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031392320 001480756 830_0 $$aEntomology in focus ;$$vv. 7. 001480756 852__ $$bebk 001480756 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-39233-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001480756 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1480756$$pGLOBAL_SET 001480756 980__ $$aBIB 001480756 980__ $$aEBOOK 001480756 982__ $$aEbook 001480756 983__ $$aOnline 001480756 994__ $$a92$$bISE
