Regulation of Ecdysis-Triggering Hormone Release by Eclosion Hormone
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1997ABSTRACT Ecdysis behavior in the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) is triggered through reciprocal peptide signaling between the central nervous system and the epitracheal endocrine system. Recent evidence indicates that eclosion hormone may initiate endocrine events leading to ecdysis through its action on ...

The Circadian Clocks of Insect Eclosion
1980Understanding the circadian timing of eclosion in insects is a pretty big undertaking. A lot of technical detail is essential and a lot of close reasoning from meticulous experiments stands in the place of direct observations on the “clock’s” unknown physiological mechanism. In that respect clockology has some of the intellectual delight of the earlier

DISTURBANCE OF ECLOSION SEQUENCE IN HYBRID LEPIDOPTERA
The Canadian Entomologist, 1983AbstractSome interspecific and interpopulation Lepidoptera and Orthoptera hybrids show a syndrome of developmental abnormalities referred to here as the “sequence effect.” In normal within population broods of Lepidoptera males develop slightly faster than females, but in crosses showing the sequence effect, females in one direction of the cross ...

The pupa and events leading to eclosion
1995The pupal stage of the chironomid life cycle has attracted increasing attention since the beginning of the century, stimulated by comprehensive rearing programmes, predominantly by Thienemann and his students, notably Potthast and Bause. The systematic value of the pupal stage was appreciated early as an aid to species identification and, later, in ...

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1977
ABSTRACT The wings of pharate adult tobacco hornworm moths, Manduca sexta, are relatively inextensible until 3 or 4 h before emergence from the pupal case. At this time the wing cuticle becomes plasticized, so that by the time of eclosion, the wings are readily extensible.

‘Killer’-cell-mediated destruction of dipteran eclosion muscles
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. B. Biological Sciences, 1989Abstract After successful escape from the puparium, dipteran flies lose sets of eclosion muscles located within the head, thorax and abdomen. The thoracic eclosion muscles are described, with details of the degeneration of one of them.
