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 …

Studies of neuropeptide and peptide hormone signaling are coming of age in Drosophila
due to rapid developments in molecular genetics approaches that overcome the difficulties …

Publisher Summary This chapter updates former reviews on locust polyphenism and also
discusses recent findings. Over 200 articles were published in scientific journals on various …

Social insects are emerging models to study how gene regulation affects behavior because
their colonies comprise individuals with the same genomes but greatly different behavioral …

The bed bug, Cimex lectularius, has re-established itself as a ubiquitous human
ectoparasite throughout much of the world during the past two decades. This global …

This review focuses on the state of the art on neuropeptide receptors in insects. Most of
these receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are involved in the regulation …

Insect neurohormones (biogenic amines, neuropeptides, and protein hormones) and their G
protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a central role in the control of behavior …

We report 43 novel genes in the water flea Daphnia pulex encoding 73 predicted
neuropeptide and protein hormones as partly confirmed by RT-PCR. MALDI-TOF mass …

Ecdysis behavior in arthropods is driven by complex interactions among multiple
neuropeptide signaling systems. To understand the roles of neuropeptides and their …

Neuropeptides and protein hormones constitute a very important group of signaling
molecules, regulating central physiological processes such as reproduction, development …
