During metamorphosis of the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, accessory planta retractor (APR)
motoneurons undergo a segment-specific pattern of programmed cell death (PCD): eg …

During metamorphosis in the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, the larval thoracic legs are
replaced by a new set of adult legs that include new sensory neurons and muscles, and …

Abstract The steroid hormone 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20‐HE) controls diverse aspects of
neuronal differentiation during metamorphosis in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta. In the …

The adult legs of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta are supplied by a diverse array of sensory
organs and associated neurons (Kent and Griffin [1990] Cell Tissue Res. 259: 209–223) that …

On the last day of adult development, individuals of the moth Manduca sexta showed a 3 to
4 h bout of abdominal movements termed the preparatory behavior which was then followed …

During the initial phase of metamorphosis in the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, persistent
mechanosensory neurons expand their terminal arborizations within the CNS and evoke a …

We have studied the development of a neuromuscular system for which mature function has
been lost through evolution in the grasshopper, Barytettix psolus (Cohn and Cantrall, 1974) …

The adult gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (Lymantriidae: Noctuoidea) has a pair of
metathoracic tympanic ears that each contain a two‐celled auditory chordotonal organ (CO) …

In developing Aplysia californica, a dramatic proliferation of new neurons occurs throughout
the central nervous system (CNS) surprisingly late in juvenile development (Cash and …

In Manduca sexta, the larval abdominal prolegs and their muscles degenerate at pupation.
The proleg motor neurons undergo a period of dendritic regression, after which a specific …
