"This volume provides a survey of invertebratepeptide hormones. Two important and related aspects of them are fully covered in this volume. First, many of these peptides are neurohormones with chemical characteristics resembling, sometimes closely, established vertebrate neurohormonal peptides. In this way these findings have had considerable impact on our understanding of the origin and evolution of peptide regulators. Second, with the availability of techniques such as HPLC and cDNA probes which have allowed detailed study of vertebrate peptides, significant advances have been made recently in our understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of native invertebrate peptides. This volumes aims to provide a synthesis between these two aspects of current investigative activity. " ... Index. Scores of figures including b/w photos, drawings, tables, graphs..
