Apart from providing an up-to-date review of the literature, considerable emphasis was
placed in this article on the historical development of the field of “crustacean eyestalk …

A major challenge for a scalable quantum computing architecture is the faithful transfer of
information from one node to another. We report on the realization of an atom-photon …

Neutral atoms are ideal objects for the deterministic processing of quantum information.
Entanglement operations have been carried out by photon exchange or controlled …

Numerous tools have been developed that attempt to measure work-related stress and
working conditions, but few practical instruments in the literature have been found to have a …

Molting or ecdysis is the most fundamentally important process in arthropod life history,
because shedding of the exoskeleton is an absolute prerequisite for growth and …

Summary Background Tidal (12.4 hr) cycles of behavior and physiology adapt intertidal
organisms to temporally complex coastal environments, yet their underlying mechanism is …

The currently accepted model of moult control in crustaceans relies entirely on the
hypothesis that moult‐inhibiting hormone (MIH) and crustacean hyperglycaemic hormone …

On the basis of detailed analyses of morphological characteristics and behavioural events
associated with ecdysis in a crab (Carcinus maenas) and a crayfish (Orconectes limosus), a …

Current evidence indicates that methyl farnesoate is the crustacean equivalent of the
juvenile hormones of insects. This putative hormone is produced by the mandibular organs …

The Drosophila melanogaster homologue of an insect calcitonin-like diuretic hormone was
identified in a BLAST search of the Drosophila genome database. The predicted 31-residue …
