Evaluation of different induced molting methods in Callinectes ornatus (Crustacea, Decapoda, Portunidae) as a tool for the commercial production of soft-shell crabs [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 We investigated the effects of eyestalk ablation and cheliped autotomy in inducing molting in Callinectes ornatus. The specimens in intermolt stage were divided into two size classes: 1 (30-50 mm) and 2 (51-70 mm) and were further divided into four ...

Drosophila Zic family member odd-paired is needed for adult post-ecdysis maturation [PDF]
Open Biology, 2019 Specific neuropeptides regulate in arthropods the shedding of the old cuticle (ecdysis) followed by maturation of the new cuticle. In Drosophila melanogaster, the last ecdysis occurs at eclosion from the pupal case, with a post-eclosion behavioural ...

Regenerative agriculture: merging farming and natural resource conservation profitably [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Most cropland in the United States is characterized by large monocultures, whose productivity is maintained through a strong reliance on costly tillage, external fertilizers, and pesticides (Schipanski et al., 2016).

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 In many insect species with a pupa covered by various "shells" (puparium, host remains, etc.) pupal-adult ecdysis and emergence to the open air represent two discrete steps.

BMC Genomics, 2018 Background Ecdysis is an innate behaviour programme by which all arthropods moult their exoskeletons. The complex suite of interacting neuropeptides that orchestrate ecdysis is well studied in insects, but details of the crustacean ecdysis cassette are ...

eLife, 2016 Neuropeptides play a key role in the regulation of behaviors and physiological responses including alertness, social recognition, and hunger, yet, their mechanism of action is poorly understood.

Halloween genes in panarthropods and the evolution of the early moulting pathway in Ecdysozoa [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Moulting is a characteristic feature of Ecdysozoa—the clade of moulting animals that includes the hyperdiverse arthropods and less speciose groups, such as onychophorans, tardigrades and nematodes.

Insects, 2022 The molting process of the lepidopteran insects is observed for many species. However, the detailed description of the morphological transformation and behavioral sequence during molting are rarely provided and visualized.

A Survey of the Dung-Dwelling Arthropod Community in the Pastures of the Northern Plains
InsectsGrassland ecosystems of the Northern Plains have changed substantially since European settlement began in the latter half of the 19th century. This has led to significant changes to the dung-dwelling arthropod community in the region.

Screening the function of genes encoding neuropeptides and their receptors in Nilaparvata lugens
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022 Neuropeptides are crucial for life activities and environmental fitness of insects, which are potential targets for pest control. The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is an important pest on rice in Asia.
