Neuropeptide F regulates adult female response to diet, larval locomotion and several larval physiological processes in Lucilia cuprina cuprina

This study investigates the role of the LcNPF gene in Lucilia cuprina cuprina, showing its impact on larval physiology and female oviposition preference, but not on male mating behavior or fertility.

Genetic and behavioral analyses suggest that larval and adult stages of Lucilia cuprina employ different sensory systems to detect rotten beef

This study identifies differences in sensory systems between larval and adult stages of Lucilia cuprina, showing ORs are essential for adult female behavior but not larval detection of rotten beef.

The role of neuropeptides in regulating ecdysis and reproduction in the hemimetabolous insect Rhodnius prolixus

This study investigates the role of neuropeptides in ecdysis and reproduction in Rhodnius prolixus, showing ETH's critical role in development and reproductive success.
