Neuropeptide Bursicon Influences Reproductive Physiology in Tribolium Castaneum [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Bursicon is a neuropeptide belonging to the cystine knot family and is composed of burs and partner of burs (pburs) subunits. It can form heterodimers or homodimers to execute different biological functions. Bursicon heterodimers regulate cuticle sclerotization and wing maturation, whereas bursicon homodimers mediate innate immunity and midgut stem ...

Partial dosage compensation in Strepsiptera, a sister group of beetles. [PDF]
, 2015 Sex chromosomes have evolved independently in many different taxa, and so have mechanisms to compensate for expression differences on sex chromosomes in males and females. Different clades have evolved vastly different ways to achieve dosage compensation,
