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 …

Neuropeptides are a diverse class of signalling molecules that are widely employed as
neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in animals, both invertebrate and vertebrate …

Behavioral and sensory adaptations are often reflected in the differential expansion of brain
components. These volumetric differences represent changes in cell number, size, and/or …

Lepidopterans like the giant sphinx moth Manduca sexta are known for their conspicuous
sexual dimorphism in the olfactory system, which is especially pronounced in the antennae …

Neuromodulation is a ubiquitous feature of neural systems, allowing flexible, context specific
control over network dynamics. Neuromodulation was first described in invertebrate motor …

Animals use vision over a wide range of light intensities, from dim starlight to bright
sunshine. For animals active in very dim light the visual system is challenged by several …

In many insect species olfaction is a key sensory modality. However, examination of the
chemical ecology of insects has focussed up to now on insects living above ground …

The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum is emerging as a further standard insect model
beside Drosophila. Its genome is fully sequenced and it is susceptible for genetic …

Mit diesem Buch dokumentieren wir, wie in den letzten 20 Jahren in der Endokrinologie Gen-
