Zusammenfassung

Werden Raupen des KohlweisslingsPieris brassicae im letzten Stadium mit synthetischen Juvenilhormonderivaten behandelt, so zeigen sie vor der nächsten Häutung, je nach Hormonspiegel, entweder das füri eine Puppen- oder für eine Larvenhäutung charakteristische Verhalten. In Insekten, deren Nervensystem bereits teilweise präpupal determiniert ist, kann eine hoher Hormonspiegel eine Umkehr vom ontogenetisch späteren Präpupalverhalten zur ontogenetish früheren Stufe des typischen Larvalverhaltens induzieren.
