When an active JH analog (methoprene or pyriproxyfen) is administered to JHdeprived (precocene-treated) adult female locusts, there is a delay of about 24 h before vitellogenin (Vg), the product of a JH-dependent gene, is found i n the hemolymph. If a dose of JH Ill or methoprene, itself too low to

## Abstract In the burying beetles, __Nicrophorus orbicollis,__ it is not clear the extent to which synthesis of Vitellogenin (Vg) is under hormonal control. Juvenile hormone (JH) and ovarian development increase rapidly upon discovery of a carcass, the necessary reproductive resource, but in its a
## Abstract To elucidate the switching mechanism of caste differentiation in termites and to examine the possible induction of soldierβreproductive intercastes experimentally, we investigated the effects of juvenile hormone on the morphologies of soldier caste by applying a juvenile hormone analog
