Simple Summary The abundance of insects indicates that they are one of the most
adaptable forms of life on earth. Genetic, physiological, and biochemical plasticity and the …

To elucidate the endocrine regulation of vitellogenin (Vg) synthesis in the red flour beetle,
Tribolium castaneum, the titers of juvenile hormone (JH) and ecdysteroids in the whole body …

Background The genetic and physiological pathways regulating behavior in solitary species
are hypothesized to have been co-opted to regulate social behavior in social species. One …

Most temperate multivoltine insects enter diapause, a hormonally controlled developmental
suspension, in response to seasonal photoperiodic and/or thermal cues. Some insect …

Juvenile hormone (JH) plays an important role in regulating various insect physiological
processes. Herein, a novel method (chiral and achiral) for the simultaneous detection of five …

In Pogonomyrmex californicus harvester ants, an age-associated division of labor occurs in
the worker caste, in which young workers perform in-nest tasks and older workers forage for …

Insect female reproduction which comprises the synthesis of vitellogenein (Vg) in the fat
body and its incorporation into developing oocytes, needs a large amount of energy and …

The high energetic demand of parental care requires parents to direct their resources
towards the support of existing offspring rather than investing into the production of …

Ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), released by the Inka cells, is a master hormone in
regulating the ecdysis process in insect. Here we investigated the presence and role of the …

The regulation of reproduction within insect societies is a key component of the evolution of
