Acaricide resistance is a global problem that has impacts worldwide. Tick populations with
broad resistance to all commercially available acaricides have been reported. Since …

Neuropeptides are the most diverse messenger molecules in metazoans and are involved in
regulation of daily physiology and a wide array of behaviors. Some neuropeptides and their …

In most animals, multiple external and internal signals are integrated by the brain,
transformed and, finally, transmitted as commands to motor centers. In insects, the central …

Neuropeptides are signaling molecules that regulate almost all physiological processes in
animals. Around 50 different genes for neuropeptides have been described in insects. In …

Neuropeptides are crucial in regulation of a rich variety of developmental, physiological, and
behavioral functions throughout the life cycle of insects. Using an integrated approach of …

Resilin, an elastomeric protein with remarkable physical properties that outperforms
synthetic rubbers, is a near-ubiquitous feature of the power amplification mechanisms used …

The digestive tract constitutes an important interface between an animal's internal and
external environment. In insects, available gut transcriptome studies are mostly exploratory …

Neuropeptides are ubiquitous intercellular signaling molecules in the CNS and play diverse
roles in modulating physiological functions by acting on specific G-protein coupled receptors …

The central complex in the brain of insects provides a neural network for sensorimotor
processing that is essential for spatial navigation and locomotion and plays a role in sleep …

This review briefly summarizes 50 years of research on insect neuropeptide and peptide
hormone (collectively abbreviated NPH) signaling, starting with the sequencing of proctolin …
