β¦ Synopsis
The great diversity seen in the cyclorrhaphous dipterans suggests that it is unlikely that juvenile hormone (JH) plays a common role within the group. The role that JH does play appears to be determined by adult lifestyle and nutritional impact on the neuroendocrine system. Using Phormia regina as a model system, the importance of JH in the reproductive biology of other cyclorrhaphous dipterans are compared. The different JHs found within this group, and the species studied, are presented. The effects of JH on the disappearance of pupal fat body in adults, accessory reproductive gland development, and the ontogeny of sexual behavior are discussed. As for oogenesis, vitellogenin biosynthesis and its uptake are described in more detail. Arch. Insect Biochem. Physiol.

Oogenesis in the codling moth, Cydia pomonella, and the role of juvenile hormones (JHs) were addressed. Rudimentary ovarian structures were recognisable in day 3-4 pupae, when haemolymph JH was still undetectable by coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the selected ion mode (GC-MS/ SIM).
## Abstract The posteclosion growth of the reproductive tracts of male and female Monarch (__Danaus plexippus__) butterflies was quantified over a 30βday period of storage in summer conditions. Concomitantly, the __Galleria__ bioassay was used to quantify hemolymph juvenile hormone (JH) titers in b
Effects of fenoxycarb at ultralow doses were investigated on juvenile hormone (JH)-regulated parameters in the silkworm, B. mori. Like JH, this non-terpenoid carbamate is able to induce permanent larvae in the last larval instar. However, whereas micrograms of JH are needed to produce this effect, o
