This review focuses on neuropeptides and peptide hormones, the largest and most diverse
class of neuroactive substances, known in Drosophila and other animals to play roles in …

Insulin, insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and insulin-like peptides (ILPs) are important
regulators of metabolism, growth, reproduction and lifespan, and mechanisms of insulin/IGF …

Animals must set behavioural priority in a context-dependent manner and switch from one
behaviour to another at the appropriate moment,–. Here we probe the molecular and …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Studies of neuropeptide and peptide hormone signaling are coming of age in Drosophila
due to rapid developments in molecular genetics approaches that overcome the difficulties …

Though much is known about the cellular and molecular components of the circadian clock,
output pathways that couple clock cells to overt behaviors have not been identified. We …

Neuropeptides are by far the largest and most diverse group of signaling molecules in
multicellular organisms. They are ancient molecules important in regulating a multitude of …

The article discusses advances in osmoregulation and excretion with emphasis on how
multicellular animals in different osmotic environments regulate their milieu intérieur …

Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) and growth factors (IGFs) not only regulate development, growth,
reproduction, metabolism, stress resistance, and lifespan, but also certain behaviors and …

Background Imbalances in amount and timing of sleep are harmful to physical and mental
health. Therefore, the study of the underlying mechanisms is of great biological importance …
