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 …

As important physiological regulators, peptides have been used in many fields including
medicine, cosmetics, healthcare products, animal nutrition and health, and plant nutrition …

Neuropeptides are signaling molecules that commonly act via G protein-coupled receptors
(GPCRs) and are generated in neurons by proneuropeptide (pNP) cleavage. Present in both …

Myriapods (eg, centipedes and millipedes) display a simple homonomous body plan relative
to other arthropods. All members of the class are terrestrial, but they attained terrestriality …

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 …

Tsetse flies are the sole vectors of human African trypanosomiasis throughout sub-Saharan
Africa. Both sexes of adult tsetse feed exclusively on blood and contribute to disease …

Neuropeptides referred to as neuropeptide F (NPF) and short neuropeptide F (sNPF) have
been identified in numerous invertebrate species. Sequence information has expanded …

Gall-forming arthropods are highly specialized herbivores that, in combination with their
hosts, produce extended phenotypes with unique morphologies [1]. Many are economically …

We present a high-quality (> 100× depth) Illumina genome sequence of the leaf-cutting ant
Acromyrmex echinatior, a model species for symbiosis and reproductive conflict studies. We …

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 …
