Juvenile hormone and sesquiterpenoids in arthropods: biosynthesis, signaling, and role of MicroRNA
Arthropod molting and reproduction are precisely controlled by the levels of
sesquiterpenoids, a class of C15 hormones derived from three isoprene units. The two major …

Exaggerated trait growth in insects
Animal structures occasionally attain extreme proportions, eclipsing in size the surrounding
body parts. We review insect examples of exaggerated traits, such as the mandibles of stag …

Social organisation and the status of workers in termites
Whereas the soldier caste is clearly ancestral to all extant termite lineages and constitutes
the hallmark of termite eusociality, the origin and evolution of workers is much more difficult …
