Enkephalins play a major role in reproductive physiology in crustaceans; however their role in reproductive development in insects is largely unknown. We investigated the effect of exposure to exogenous leucine-enkephalin (Leu-Enk), methionine-enkeph

Visual examination of the mandibular organ (MO) from the lobster, Homarus americanus, disclosed two distinct morphological regions: a fan-folded region along one edge of the gland, and a smooth, unfolded region comprising the rest of the gland. Becau

The crustacean mandibular organ (MO) is the site of synthesis of methyl farnesoate (MF), a sesquiterpene structurally related to insect juvenile hormone (JH). Although the role of MF in crustaceans is not completely clear, several studies suggest tha

Eyestalk ablation (ESA) increases crustacean production of methyl farnesoate (MF), a juvenile hormone-like compound, but the biochemical steps involved are not completely understood. We measured the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A r

Green crabs, Carcinus maenas, exposed to dilute seawater (e.g., 5 ppt salinity, approximately 150 mOsm/kg) have hemolymph levels of methyl farnesoate (MF) that are up to 10-fold higher than animals in isosmotic seawater (27 ppt, approximately 800 mOs

The interaction of juvenile hormone (JH) and nutrition was studied during the oviposition cycle of the Eastern Lubber grasshopper (Romalea microptera). Starvation of females early or in the middle of the cycle inhibited oocyte growth. Starvation for

Burying beetles, Nicrophorus orbicollis , have facultative biparental care. They bury and prepare small vertebrate carcasses that provide food for their young. Here we establish the juvenile hormone (JH) profiles of paired females , paired males and

In a previous study [Li, Wagner, Friesen and Borst (2003) Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 134, 147–155], we showed that the MO (mandibular organ) of the lobster Homarus americanus has high levels of HMGR (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase) and that m

The genetic and geographical variation, gene flow, and the historical biogeography of the eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea microptera (=guttata) (Houttuyn), were examined by sequencing a 420-bp region of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Indivi

The mandibular organ (MO) of the lobster, Homarus americanus, produces the isoprenoid methyl farnesoate (MF), a compound related to insect juvenile hormone (JH). To better understand the synthesis and regulation of MF, we studied 3-hydroxy-3-methylgl
