The flight of an insect is of a very complicated and extremely energy-demanding nature.
Wingbeat frequency may differ between various species but values up to 1000 Hz have …

A complex cascade of neuronal, hormonal, muscular, and metabolic events leads to the
initiation and maintenance of a behavioral act. Hormones are released to mobilize metabolic …

Flight activity of insects provides an attractive yet relatively simple model system for
regulation of processes involved in energy metabolism. This is particularly highlighted …

Through long-distance migration, insects not only find suitable breeding locations and
increase the survival space and opportunities for the population but also facilitate large …

The adipokinetic hormone/red-pigment concentrating hormone family of invertebrate
peptides contains structurally related neuropeptides with diverse biological activities. The …

The most striking fact revealed by investigations of insect neurohormones is that insects are
as well supplied with neurohormones as mammals, since neurohor mones regulate not only …

Locust adipokinetic hormones I (ΑΚΗ I) and II (ΑΚΗ II) are separated by reversed-phase high-
performance liquid chromatography using a μ-Bondapak phenyl column with a …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the hormonal controllers of the supply of
endogenous metabolic energy and the hormonal control of fluid and electrolyte balance …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the control of substrate supplies to locust flight
muscle. The reserves of respiratory fuels in insect flight muscles are, however, usually …
