The discussions at this workshop will focus on the molecular mechanisms of insect hormone and neuropeptide action. This meeting is an updated version of the long-running International Ecdysone Workshop. While ecdysone function will continue to be a central theme of the workshop, we will also consider how ecdysone signaling is integrated with juvenile hormone, insulin, and other neurohormone and peptide signals as they pertain to insect development, developmental behaviors, growth, reproduction and physiology. We anticipate that this workshop will be of interest to developmental geneticists and cell biologists working on many model systems including, but not limited to, Drosophila, Tribolium, Bombyx, Manduca, Culicidae, and Blattaria.
