Activity of corpora allata, endocrine balance and reproduction in female Labidura riparia (Dermaptera)

The existence of a center located in the PI, inhibiting the production of ecdysteroids, and of a stimulating center located outside this area are postulated, which exhibits an allatotropic function.

Neuroendocrine control of oocyte development in Poecilocera picta (Insecta: Orthoptera)

The neuroendocrine control of oocyte development in Poecilocera picta Fab has been described and there appears to be some correlation in the secretion of the neurosecretory material, copulation, and the appearance of resorptive bodies.

Relationship between haemolymphatic levels of juvenile hormone and the duration of the spermatophore in the bursa copulatrix of the cockroach Blaberus craniifer Burm.

The results show for the first time that there is a relationship between the duration of the spermatophore in the bursa copulatrix and haemolymphatic levels of juvenile hormone and basal oocyte growth during the first gonadotrophic cycle.

Developmental constraints on the mode of reproduction in the facultatively parthenogenetic cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea

Comparison of cytogenetics and embryonic development of sexual and parthenogenetic offspring in N. cinerea and extreme variation in asexually derived clutches suggests that developmental constraints limit the success of asexual reproduction in this facultatively parthenogenic cockroach.

THE CONTROL OF REPRODUCTION IN DIPLOPTERA PUNCTATA (BLATTARIA)

In virgins, the brain inhibits the function of the corpora allata by way of the nervi corporis allati, and thus prevents or delays the maturation of the eggs, and demonstrates that active corporaAllata are responsible for the deposition of yolk in the oocytes.

Inhibition of Egg Maturation in a Pregnant Viviparous Cockroach

The sexual cycle in females of the viviparous cockroach, Leucophaea maderae, has since been confirmed and the nervous pathway was assumed to involve the activation of stretch receptors associated with the genital apparatus as the brood sac was filled.

A Comparative Study of Oöcyte Development in False Ovoviviparous Cockroaches

Experiments to determine the nature of inhibition of the corpora allata during pregnancy indicate that inhibition is due to nervous stimuli resulting from pressure of the growing eggs in the uterus.

The five nymphal stages of Rhodnius prolixus are more or less alike, but if a fifth nymph decapitated soon after feeding receives the blood from a moulting fourth nymph it develops characters much more like those of a nymph than an adult, and the bearing on the phenomena of diapause and prothetely is discussed.

MECHANISMS CONTROLLING REPRODUCTION IN TWO VIVIPAROUS COCKROACHES (BLATTARIA) *

The reproductive patterns of two vivaparous cockroaches, Leucophaea maderae and Diploptera punctata, will be compared and the elucidation of the control mechanisms for reproduction in these roaches perhaps will facilitate an understanding of the many different features related to reproduction in insects.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORA ALLATA AND REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS IN STARVED FEMALE LEUCOPHAEA MADERAE (BLATTARIA)

In starved females of Leucophaea maderae whose ovaries remain immature, egg development can be induced by the implantation of corpora allata from fed donors, and the result indicates that these glands whose activity depends on the corpus allatum have a lower threshold of response than the ovaries, and that starvation does not totally prevent the secretion of Corpus allatum hormone.
