Abstract
Crustacean endocrinology has benefited from the recent advances in peptide chemistry and immunoassay. Current research has focused on the isolation of peptides and the measurement of steroids. Terpenoid hormones, long known from insects, are now believed to be present and active in crustaceans. The role of biogenic amines as neuromodulators and neurohormones in crustaceans is also being examined. Details of crustacean regulatory physiology suggest a similarity to well-known insect patterns. This brief review will examine some examples from each of these areas.Keywords
