Neuropeptides in the nervous system of Drosophila and other insects: multiple roles as neuromodulators and neurohormones.
TL;DR: Drosophila, in spite of its small size, is now emerging as a very favorable organism for the studies of neuropeptide function due to the arsenal of molecular genetics methods available.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Allatostatins in Juvenile Hormone Synthesis in Insects and Crustaceans
Barbara Stay,Stephen S. Tobe +1 more
TL;DR: Three types of allatostatins in insects have been isolated: FGLamides, W(X)(6)Wamide, and PISCFs; however, although these types occur in all groups of insects studied, they act as inhibitors of juvenile hormone production in only some groups.

TL;DR: Modulation of Neuromuscular Parameters in Crustaceans by the Peptides Proctolin and Allatostatin, Contained in Identified Motor Neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurophylogeny: Architecture of the nervous system and a fresh view on arthropod phyologeny.
TL;DR: A thorough overview is given of characters derived from structure and development of the arthropod brain and the ventral nerve cord from the cellular level to the level of larger neuropil systems that support the new Tetraconata hypothesis suggested by Dohle and provide evidence for a clade that unites malacostracan and remipede crustaceans with the Hexapoda.

Measurement of protein using bicinchoninic acid
TL;DR: This new method maintains the high sensitivity and low protein-to-protein variation associated with the Lowry technique and demonstrates a greater tolerance of the bicinchoninate reagent toward such commonly encountered interferences as nonionic detergents and simple buffer salts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fixation of ejaculated spermatozoa for electron microscopy.
TL;DR: Osmium tetroxide fixation of crude ejaculate consistently produces a variety of artefacts such as separation of the plasma membrane from the acrosome, widening of nuclear vacuoles, erosion of the acosome, and swelling of mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Physiological Solution for Freshwater Crustaceans
TL;DR: An attempt was made to find a better physiological solution for the freshwater crayfish and two species of freshwater crustaceans, Astacus trowbridgii and Cambarus clarkii were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of amino acids with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the determination of primary and secondary amino acids is presented, where the reaction of 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate with amino acids proceeds under mild conditions in aqueous solution and is complete in 30 sec.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crustacean neuropeptides: structures, functions and comparative aspects.
TL;DR: An attempt is made to review the presently known, completely identified crustacean neuropeptides with regard to structure, function and distribution.
