What can insects teach us about hormones and physiology?

In our new @APSPhysiology review, we highlight how insect models continue to unlock fundamental insights into endocrine signaling and interorgan communication.

Thx to my co-authors & @LabRewitz!

Happy to share our latest paper from the lab: “BeetleAtlas: An Ontogenetic and Tissue-specific Transcriptomic Atlas of the Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum” out now in @JmolBiol. Thx for generous funding by @VILLUMFONDEN @DFF_raad

Latest from the lab: What are the mechanism by which insects maintain systemic ion and water balance as they interact with their environment? Another great collaboration with @DenholmLab!annualreviews.org/eprint/FXMYNQH…

Curious about how some beetles have evolved to drink, not with their mouths, but with their rectum? Check out our latest Quick Guide in the current issue of @CurrentBiology. In collaboration with @RobinBeaven @DenholmLab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How do animals weigh competing needs to maintain nutrient and fluid balance? Check out our recent review in #BioEssays in which we aim to provide a framework for understanding the polymodal optimization of homeostasis in insects. Also, pretty pictures... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/EU9FPTNI…
