The contributors offer a range of fresh insights as they describe the latest research, considering such topics as the morphological and cellular aspects of metamorphosis, the use of mutants to study the control of pattern formation in the adult insect integument at the genetic level, and hormonal control of metamorphosis in insects and amphibians. |
