Septate and Scalariform Junctions in Arthropods

TL;DR: Among invertebrates, the arthropods have the best-known physiology and a careful examination of the repartition of the junctions and their position and association with other types of junctions or with certain cytoplasmic organelles may throw some light on their functions.

The MEKRE93 (Methoprene tolerant-Krüppel homolog 1-E93) pathway in the regulation of insect metamorphosis, and the homology of the pupal stage.

TL;DR: It is shown here that Krüppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1), a transducer of the antimetamorphic action of juvenile hormone (JH), represses E93 expression, which appears to be central to the status quo action of JH, which switch adult morphogenesis off and on in species ranging from cockroaches to flies.

Structure of the tarsi in some Stenus species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae): external morphology, ultrastructure, and tarsal secretion.

Oliver Betz
TL;DR: Gas chromatography and infrared spectroscopy revealed that the lipid fraction of the secretion is a mixture of unsaturated fatty acid glycerides and aliphatic hydrocarbons whose spectra are similar to those of extractions of the superficial lipid coating of the body surface.

Adhesive Exocrine Glands in Insects: Morphology, Ultrastructure, and Adhesive Secretion

TL;DR: A literature survey is provided summarizing the available information on exocrine epidermal glands that produce adhesive secretions in insects, focusing on both the ultrastructure of the gland cells and the identity and function of the chemical secretion produced by them.

Fine structure of insect epidermal glands

TL;DR: The present review is devoted to the exocrine glands derived from epidermis; glands associated with the preoral cavity (mandibular, salivary, etc) and genital apparatus are not dealt with except for the sake of comparison.
