Cockroaches belong to the insect order Blattodea, often serving as model organisms for
hemimetabolous insects. They occupy a pivotal evolutionary position in studies of insect …

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 …

To gain insights into how juvenile hormone (JH) came to regulate insect metamorphosis, we
studied its function in the ametabolous firebrat, Thermobia domestica. Highest levels of JH …

The ecdysone-induced transcription factor E93 in model insects plays multiple roles in the
insect metamorphosis processes, such as remodeling larval tissues and determining adult …

Signaling networks are redeployed across different developmental times and places to
generate phenotypic diversity from a limited genetic toolkit. Hormone signaling networks in …

Complex behaviors arise from neural circuits that are assembled from diverse cell types.
Sleep is a conserved and essential behavior, yet little is known regarding how the nervous …

ABSTRACT Ecdysone-induced protein 93 (E93), known as the 'adult-specifier'transcription
factor in insects, triggers metamorphosis in both hemimetabolous and holometabolous …

Molt‐based transitions in form are a central feature of insect life that have enabled
adaptation to diverse and changing environments. The endocrine regulation of these …

More than 60% of all animal species are insects that undergo complete metamorphosis. The
key innovation of these holometabolous insects is a pupal stage between the larva and adult …
