Insect Neurohormones

Insect Neurohormones by Marie Raabe.

The discovery of insect neurohormones dates from the earliest experimental in­ vestigations in insect endocrines, and the matter cannot be discussed without evoking the names of its pioneers-Kopec, Wigglesworth, Fraenkel. Whereas the experiments demonstrated the existence of the first known neurohor...
