Insect Mating Behaviors: A Review of the Regulatory Role of Neuropeptides
Insect mating behaviors are complex, diverse, and primarily regulated by neuropeptides and their receptors. Neuropeptides are peptide signaling molecules mainly secreted by insects’ central nervous system (CNS) to reach target organs. A substantial body of research on the role of neuropeptides in re...
