Reviews

...a must have book for every Drosophila laboratory...successfully fills a long-lasting gap in Drosophila literature and will serve as a high-quality quick reference of standard material for experts as well as beginners. --European Journal of Entomology, 'vol. 111 (2014), iss. 4 The authors have produced a splendid and tremendously valuable resource for the Drosophila laboratory that may also be a fun flip-through for non-Drosophilists...This volume should soon populate the microscope benches of fly rooms worldwide...This is a noteworthy work both for its utility and for its beauty. --The Quarterly Review of Biology, June 2014 Chyb and Gompel present this new spiral-bound atlas for Drosophila researchers featuring sharp digital color photographs...Technical information on genomic location is also provided where available, and mutations are referenced to the online Drosophila genetics database FlyBase. --Reference & Research Book News, October 2013 The Atlas of Drosophila Morphology provides a valuable, as well as beautiful, reference source for all those who need to recognize fly mutant phenotypes or who need to decipher the impenetrable jargon of fly anatomical names. A much needed update to the classic works of Demerec and Lindsley & Grell ... A must for any fly lab. --Ralph J. Greenspan, Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, UCSD Chyb and Gompel have produced a must-have book for every Drosophilist. The Atlas of Drosophila Morphology presents crisp, high-definition color images of all the classic morphological mutants a fly pusher needs to recognize, displayed side-by-side with a wild type fly. --Leslie B. Vosshall, HHMI-The Rockefeller University Drosophila is an exceptionally favorable model to investigate a plethora of biological problems. This book appears remarkably valuable not only for professional drosophilists but is particularly well suited for biologists with a modest background in fly genetics, who wish to use Drosophila as a model organism for their specific interests. The beautiful pictures featured in this book, often showing side-by-side mutant flies and wild-type counterparts, will enable easy identifications of the genetic phenotype, and add to the value of this volume. --Professor Jules Hoffmann, University of Strasbourg, France
