Richard Vogt is currently a Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina. He received his PhD in Zoology from the University of Washington. Dr. Vogt served on the editorial board of Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from 2002 to 2014. He has contributed to hundreds of journal articles and book chapters, including co-editing Insect Pheromone Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 2003 with Dr. Gary Blomquist.
- Offers a historical and contemporary perspective, with a focus on advances over the last 15 years
- Discusses the molecular and regulatory mechanisms underlying pheromone production/detection, as well as the evolution of these processes across the insects
- Led by editors with broad expertise in the metabolic pathways of pheromone production and the biochemical and genetic processes of pheromone detection
