Kopec revisited—Neuroendocrine regulation of metamorphosis in the gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar): Development of a larval in vivo assay for prothoracicotropic hormone

The role of the brain as a neuroendocrine regulator of metamorphosis in the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. was originally demonstrated by Kopec more than 70 years ago. We have reexamined this role by determining haemolymph ecdysteroid titres, activity and responsiveness of the prothoracic glands, a...
