  1. 1. The Role of Juvenile Hormone and Ecdysone in Wing Morph Determination in the Wing Polyphenic Water Strider, Gerris buenoi

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Kevin Nielsen; [2021]
    Keywords : Wing polyphenism; Phenotypic plasticity; Water striders; Gerris buenoi; Ecdysone; Juvenile hormone; RNAi;

    Abstract : In this laboratory study, the role of juvenile hormone (JH) and ecdysone in regulating wing polyphenism was investigated in the non-model organism Gerris buenoi. Topical application of the JH analog methoprene elicited reduced pronotum, wing defects, and nymphal-adult intermediates but no changes to wing morph. READ MORE
