Control of reproductive development in crustaceans requires neuropeptides, ecdysone and
methyl farnesoate (MF). A major source of neuropeptides is the X-organ–sinus gland (XO …

Daphnia offer a variety of benefits for the study of epigenetics. Daphnia's parthenogenetic
life cycle allows the study of epigenetic effects in the absence of confounding genetic …

In sequential hermaphrodites, intersexuality occurs naturally, usually as a transition state
during sexual re-differentiation processes. In crustaceans, male sexual differentiation is …

Sexual Biology and Reproduction in Crustaceans covers crustacean reproduction as it deals
with the structural morphology of the gamete-producing primary sex organs, such as the …

In the present study, an ecotoxicological approach to the evaluation of the insecticide
Pyriproxifen in the crustacean Daphnia magna was done. Acute toxicity tests (48 h), feeding …

Arthropods are sexually dimorphic. An arthropod individual usually differentiates into a male
or a female. With very low frequencies, however, individuals with both male and female …

Cabej (biology, U. of Tirana, Albania) explains the epigenetic principles of evolution (as
opposed to the theory of evolution as determined by changes in genes) and reconstructs the …

Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator acting as larvicide against a large spectrum of
public health insect pests, especially dipterans. It is also widely used in agriculture and …

Pyriproxyfen (PPF) is a synthetic substance and an insect juvenile hormone agonist with
growth regulating effect. It is used worldwide as a pesticide in agriculture and public health …

Branchiopod crustaceans (eg, Daphnia sp.) and some other taxa utilize both asexual and
sexual reproduction to maximize population sustainability. The decision to switch from …
