Juvenile Hormone and the Physiological Basis of Insect Polymorphisms
Abstract
Juvenile hormone (JH) is a developmental hormone of insects. It has become evident in recent years that JH is involved in the control of gene switching and that it exerts this control only during certain critical periods. Such JH-sensitive critical periods occur periodically during the life cycle of an insect. As a rule one or more critical periods exist during each pre-reproductive instar. The presence or absence of JH during any given critical period somehow causes the insect to "choose" between alternative developmental pathway. Using this model for the action of JH, we discuss the endocrine control of metamorphosis, phase determination in locusts and aphids, caste determination is social insects, and certain color polymorphisms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
