Physiology of Insect Rhythms
Abstract
The moulting process of insects is governed by the interaction of three hormones: prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH), juvenile hormone, and ecdysone (see Doane, 1973; Wyatt, 1972; Wigglesworth, 1971 for recent reviews). To initiate the moult the brain releases PTTH which causes the secretion of ecdysone from the prothoracic glands. Ecdysone in turn triggers the detachment of the epidermis from the old cuticle and the subsequent secretion of the new cuticle. Whether this new cuticle is larval, pupal, or adult depends on the titre of juvenile hormone at the time of ecdysone secretion.

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.
