Eat to reproduce: a key role for the insulin signaling pathway in adult insects
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Insects, like all heterotrophic organisms, acquire from their food the nutrients that are essential for anabolic processes that lead to growth (larval stages) or reproduction (adult stage).

Endocrine Control of Postnatal Growth in Poultry
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2005 This paper provides an overview on the role of several endocrine factors in the regulation of the somatic growth (skeletal muscle and bone development) and body composition in meat-type poultry.

Reconstruction of insect hormone pathways in an aquatic firefly, Sclerotia aquatilis (Coleoptera: Lampyridae), using RNA-seq [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Insect hormones: ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones have crucial functions during the regulation of different developmental pathways in insects. Insect metamorphosis is one of the primary pathways regulated by these hormones.

Endocrine remodelling of the adult intestine sustains reproduction in Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2015 The production of offspring is energetically costly and relies on incompletely understood mechanisms that generate a positive energy balance. In mothers of many species, changes in key energy-associated internal organs are common yet poorly characterised

mSystemsThe insect hormones ecdysone (20E) and juvenile hormone III (JH) have been demonstrated to stimulate the secretion of conidia mucilage and pigments in Hirsutella satumaensis. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Variation in adrenal and thyroid hormones with life-history stage in juvenile northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) [PDF]
, 2016 Interpretation of stress responses in wildlife is inadequate due to the range of natural variation and potential confounds of individual and life-history variables. In marine mammals, endocrine response data are sparse and variable across species.
