Abstract excerpt

Animals with exoskeletons molt for further growth. In insects, the number of larval (or nymphal) molts varies inter- and intra-specifically, and it is widely accepted that the variation in the number of larval molts is an adaptive response to diverse environmental conditions.1-5 However, the molecular mechanism that underlies the variety and plasticity in the number of larval molts is largely unknown. In the...
