Recent advances on hormones and behavior in vertebrates: inspiration for and from invertebrate science
1University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA.
Abstract:
This review, as part of an introduction to the special issue, has two goals: First, I consider the inspiration that vertebrate neuroendocrinologists continue to draw from foundational discoveries in invertebrate species for understanding neurohormone signaling and action. Second, I lay out select examples of recent advances in understanding hormones and behavior in vertebrates that might provide fodder for new methodological and/or conceptual advances for entomologists and others. Lastly, I provide some examples of recent efforts incorporating computational modeling that can help inspire ways to balance theoretical and empirical approaches to hormone and neuroendocrine science.
