When to shed? Patterns and drivers of time to first ecdysis in snakes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Time from birth or hatching to the first shed (postnatal ecdysis) in snakes ranges from about an hour to several weeks depending upon the species.

Identification and characterization of ecdysis-related neuropeptides in the lone star tick Amblyomma americanum [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 IntroductionThe lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, is an important ectoparasite known for transmitting diseases to humans and animals. Ecdysis-related neuropeptides (ERNs) control behaviors crucial for arthropods to shed exoskeletons.

The Intricate Role of Ecdysis Triggering Hormone Signaling in Insect Development and Reproductive Regulation [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Insect growth is interrupted by molts, during which the insect develops a new exoskeleton. The exoskeleton confers protection and undergoes shedding between each developmental stage through an evolutionarily conserved and ordered sequence of behaviors ...

Characterization of eclosion hormone receptor function reveals differential hormonal control of ecdysis during Drosophila development. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsNeuromodulators and peptide hormones play important roles in regulating animal behavior. A well-studied example is ecdysis, which is used by insects to shed their exoskeleton at the end of each molt.

Using insecticidal compounds to elucidate the potential role of neurotransmitters in Lepidoptera pupal ecdysis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPreviously, we reported final-instar lepidopteran larvae exposed to low doses of imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam had arrest in pupal ecdysis, which is a novel adverse outcome for neonicotinoid insecticides.

Neonicotinoids can cause arrested pupal ecdysis in Lepidoptera [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Recently, we reported a novel mode of action in monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) larvae exposed to neonicotinoid insecticides: arrest in pupal ecdysis following successful larval ecdysis.

Ecdysis Triggering Hormone Signaling (ETH/ETHR-A) Is Required for the Larva-Larva Ecdysis in Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Insects must undergo ecdysis for successful development and growth, and the ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), released by the Inka cells, is a master hormone in this process. In this study, we determined the sequence of the ETH precursor and receptors in

Ecdysis triggering hormone signaling in arthropods [PDF]
Peptides, 2010 Ecdysis triggering hormones (ETHs) from endocrine Inka cells initiate the ecdysis sequence through action on central neurons expressing ETH receptors (ETHR) in model moth and dipteran species. We used various biochemical, molecular and BLAST search techniques to detect these signaling molecules in representatives of diverse arthropods.
