Molting is critical for growth, development, reproduction, and survival in arthropods.
Complex neuroendocrine pathways are involved in the regulation of molting and may …

Crustacean aquaculture, especially monosex culture, requires a comprehensive knowledge
of the mechanisms regulating sex determination and differentiation. Decapod crustaceans …

Ecdysone receptor (EcR) is the primary regulator of the ecdysteroid signalling pathway, a
critical pathway that directly links to moulting. In addition, EcR also regulates growth …

There is an urgent need to understand how organisms respond to multiple, potentially
interacting drivers in today's world. The effects of the pollutants anthropogenic sound (pile …

Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their
segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and …

17β-estradiol (E2) has been proved to control reproduction, sexual differentiation, and the
development of the secondary sexual characteristics of vertebrate females. In decapod …

Crustaceans—and arthropods in general—exhibit many unique aspects to their physiology.
These include the requirement to moult (ecdysis) in order to grow and reproduce, the ability …

Depending on the extraction method, numerous compounds that have specific
pharmacological effects can be obtained from M. alba L. There is a growing scientific interest …

The crustacean molting process is regulated by an interplay of hormones produced by the
