This review deals with some lesser known functions of adipokinetic hormones (AKHs),
specifically those that are not associated directly with flight activity. The data summarized …

Since all life processes depend on energy, the endocrine control of energy metabolism is
one of the driving forces for the performance of an individual. Here, we review the literature …

Abstract For decades, Juvenile Hormone (JH) has been a major focus of studies
investigating the endocrine regulation of wing‐polymorphism. The most general model …

The hemolymph juvenile hormone (JH) titer was measured in over 500 flight-capable and
flightless, adult female Gryllus firmus at 3–6 h intervals during each of days 2–8 of …

Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs), the neurohormones synthesized in the insect corpora
cardiaca are known to mobilize lipids and carbohydrates for energy‐consuming activities …

Wing polymorphism is a powerful model for examining many aspects of adaptation. The
wing dimorphic cricket species, Gryllus firmus, consists of a long-winged morph with …

Animals need to balance competitive behaviors to maintain internal homeostasis. The
underlying mechanisms are complex but typically involve neuroendocrine signaling. Using …

The effect of an insecticide, permethrin (Ambush 25 EC), on the titre of two adipokinetic
hormones in the central nervous system (CNS) and haemolymph of the firebug Pyrrhocoris …

We tested the hypothesis that adults of flightless long‐winged (macropterous) and short‐
winged (brachypterous) morphs of Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.)(Heteroptera) differ in their …

We have used an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) for determination of the AKH
content in CNS (brain+ corpora cardiaca+ corpora allata) and haemolymph of adult …
