Hormonal Control of Insect Development

  • Chapter
Invertebrate Endocrinology and Hormonal Heterophylly

Abstract

The field of insect endocrinology has developed very rapidly from inauspicious beginnings a half century ago when Kopeš laid the foundation with innovative experiments showing that the insect brain produced an humoral factor indispensable for initiating the process of molting. Subsequent investigators demonstrated the existence of other morphogenetic hormones and identified the glands that produced them. As more data were obtained, patterns appeared suggesting that there were certain homologies even among extremely diverse insect groups. Eventually these patterns were synthesized into a unified scheme of endocrine regulation for all insects. Supportive evidence came from many sources, although an inordinate amount came from investigations of only a dozen or so species representing three or four insect orders. Now this basic classical scheme has rightfully been accepted as a milestone in biology.
