| Abstrakt: | In the carabid beetle Pterostichus nigrita reproduction is controlled by photoperiods and the corpus allatum hormone. Corpora allata were incubated in vitro and the release of juvenile hormone was quantified. Short-day conditions induced low activity of the corpora allata; long days, after short-day treatment, stimulate high corpus allatum activity, while long days alone have no effect.
