Brief Survey of the Neuroendocrine System in Insects

  • Chapter
Insect Hormones and Bioanalogues

Abstract

This introductory chapter represents a condensed review of the components of the neuroendocrine system of insects and the effects of their extirpation or transplantation on development. We have separated these effects from those of plant and animal extracts, other isolation products, or synthetic compounds, which will be described in the following chapters. The recent literature pertaining to insect hormones has been reviewed in several monographs. The results obtained by classical endocrinological techniques are described in detail in the book by Pflugfelder [237] which contains detailed descriptions of insect endocrines from the period when morphological studies predominated. An extensive list of the literature pertaining to the endocrine glands of insects with discussions on developmental theories in insect endocrinology is contained in a book by Novák [218]. Comparative data on insects and other invertebrates, especially crustaceans, may be found in a monograph by Gersch [90] and a brief but very instructive book of comparative endocrinology of invertebrates containing numerous illustrations has been prepared by Highnam and Hill [126]. Comparative data on the structure and function of neurosecretory system may be found in an extensive work by Gabe [88]. The basic physiological data for understanding the mode of action of insect hormones are contained in a book by Wigglesworth [370], and a monograph by Wigglesworth [371] on the physiology of metamorphosis of Rhodnius.
