Animal behavior arises from the interplay between neural, biomechanical and environmental dynam- ics. Neuromodulators, such as neuropeptides can regulate and reconfigure neural circuits to alter their output, affecting ...

Ecdysis is a vital process for insects, during which they shed the old cuticle in order to emerge as the following developmental stage. Given its relevance for survival and reproduction, ecdysis is tightly regulated by ...

To grow and develop insects must undergo ecdysis. During this process, the individual sheds the old cuticle to emerge as the following developmental stage. During ecdysis, different programed behaviors are regulated by ...
