Neuropeptide receptor transcriptome reveals unidentified neuroendocrine pathways. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Neuropeptides are an important class of molecules involved in diverse aspects of metazoan development and homeostasis. Insects are ideal model systems to investigate neuropeptide functions, and the major focus of insect neuropeptide research in the last ...

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2015 Literature on the question whether the juvenile stage of vertebrates is hormonally regulated is scarce. It seems to be intuitively assumed that this stage of development is automated, and does not require any specific hormone(s).

Juvenile Hormone Is Required in Adult Males for Drosophila Courtship. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Juvenile Hormone (JH) has a prominent role in the regulation of insect development. Much less is known about its roles in adults, although functions in reproductive maturation have been described.

Approaches and Tools to Study the Roles of Juvenile Hormones in Controlling Insect Biology
Insects, 2020 The juvenile hormones (JHs) are a group of sesquiterpenoids synthesized by the corpora allata. They play critical roles during insect development and reproduction.

Genetic dissection of stress-induced reproductive arrest in Drosophila melanogaster females. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 By genetic manipulations, we study the roles played by insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in the brain and their target, the corpora allata (CA), for reproductive dormancy in female Drosophila melanogaster, which is induced by exposing them to a combination ...

Neurohormones in insect stress: A review [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2006 The neurohormones are the master regulators of all life processes in insects and they create a strategy of stress protecting events. Neurohormones are synthesized mainly in insect brain neurosecretory neurons.

Development of an Alternative Low‐Cost Larval Diet for Mass Rearing of Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
BioMed Research International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Background. Aedes aegypti is a major vector of arboviruses that may be controlled on an area‐wide basis, using novel approaches such as Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT). Larval diet is a critical factor to be considered in mass rearing of Aedes mosquitoes for SIT and IIT programs.
