Gonadotropic and physiological functions of juvenile hormone in Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) workers. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The evolution of advanced sociality in bees is associated with apparent modifications in juvenile hormone (JH) signaling. By contrast to most insects in which JH is a gonadotropin regulating female fertility, in the highly eusocial honey bee (Apis ...

HEMOLYMPH PROTEINS AND REPRODUCTION IN PERIPLANETA AMERICANA: THE NATURE OF CONJUGATED PROTEINS AND THE EFFECT OF CARDIAC-ALLATECTOMY ON PROTEIN METABOLISM [PDF]

open access: yesThe Biological Bulletin, 1967
1. The nature and behavior of the conjugated proteins in the hemolymph of adult female Periplaneta americana (L.) have been studied in relation to the ovarian cycle, using disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel and various staining procedures. It is shown that there may be not only a change in the relative concentration of the different protein ...

Relationships between locomotor activity, oxidative damage and life span in males and females of the linden bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
In this study we addressed a question of whether experimental manipulations that increase life span also reduce physical activity and molecular oxidative damage.

Endocrine regulation of the reproductive arrest in the long-winged females of a flightless bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Mechanisms of the suppression of gonadotropic activity of the corpus allatum (CA) in macropterous females were compared with those previously reported for either diapause or starving non-diapause brachypterous females by reciprocal transplantations of ...

Regulation of the development of flight muscles in long-winged adults of the flightless bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
We studied the development of the indirect flight muscles and reproductive organs in long-winged (macropterous) adults of the flightless bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) and the factors involved in flight muscles histolysis by means of total protein analysis.

Secretory activity and endocrine regulation of male accessory glands in the blood-sucking bug Panstrongylus megistus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987
The epithelial cells of Panstrongylus megistus male accessory glands (MAG) present ultrastructural characteristics of a secretory cell. Their secretory products are accumulated in the lumen of the four MAG lobes.

Juvenile hormone III and nutrition effects on spermatogenesis in the 4th instar nymphs of Panstrongylus megistus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1991
When 4th instar nymphs of Panstrongylus megistus are fed with a saturant blood meal, there is an intense proliferation of the spermatogonia. At the end of the intermoult, the older spermatogonial cysts differentiate into 1st primary spermatocyte cysts ...

Juvenile hormone and division of labor in honey bee colonies: effects of allatectomy on flight behavior and metabolism [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2003
SUMMARY Three experiments were performed to determine why removal of the corpora allata (the glands that produce juvenile hormone) causes honey bees to fail to return to their hive upon initiating flight. In Experiment 1, the naturally occurring flights of allatectomized bees were tracked with radar to determine whether the deficit is ...
