A Conserved CCAP-signaling Pathway Controlling Ecdysis in a hemimetabolous insect, Rhodnius prolixus
In insects, ecdysis is an important feature of growth and development and is tightly controlled by a variety of neuropeptides. In holometabolous insects, crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) is one of many factors that regulate ecdysis behaviours; however, not much is known about the control of e...
