Small rhythmic circuits, such as those found in invertebrates, have provided fundamental
insights into how circuit dynamics depend on individual neuronal and synaptic properties …

All nervous systems are multiply modulated by polypeptides. However, a bulk of transmitter
and modulation research has historically focused on small molecule transmitters released at …

The sesquiterpenoid juvenile hormone (s)(JHs) of insects are the primary regulators of
growth, metamorphosis, and reproduction in most insect species. As a consequence, it is …

C-type allatostatins (AST-Cs) are pleiotropic neuropeptides that are broadly conserved
within arthropods; the presence of three AST-C isoforms, encoded by paralog genes, is …

Barnacles, a prevalent fouler organism in intertidal zones, has long been a source of
annoyance due to significant economic losses and ecological impacts. Numerous …

C-type allatostatins (C-type ASTs) are a family of structurally related neuropeptides found in
a wide range of insects and crustaceans. To date, the C-type allatostatin receptor in …

Neuropeptides have been successfully documented in numerous arthropod species via in
silico prediction from transcriptomic and genomic data. We recently sequenced the genome …

Allatoregulatory neuropeptides are multifunctional proteins that take part in the synthesis
and secretion of juvenile hormones. In insects, allatostatins are inhibitors of juvenile …

In this study, a novel Crustacean Hyperglycemic Hormone-type II gene (CHH-type II) was
identified and biologically characterized in a shrimp, Penaeus monodon. Based on its …

C-type allatostatins (AST-Cs) are pleiotropic neuropeptides that are broadly conserved
