The insects: Structure and function R. F. Chapman
Publisher: CUP

The observed higher amino acid distances that reflect a considerable sequence variation for the spacers do not allow us to conclude that structural features of the spacers are unimportant for proper peptide processing and packaging into secretory vesicles. Hypoxia and the Circulation 618:221-228. Hoffmann, “Antimicrobial peptides in insects; structure and function,” Developmental and Comparative Immunology, vol. The insect's hearing organ, although tucked in the crook of its front legs, has components that echo the structures of our own middle and inner ear, researchers have discovered. A rainforest katydid has ears that evolved to be remarkably like those of humans and other mammals. In fact, other studies speak against a functional redundancy, and report differential target-specific effects of multiple copy peptides in insects and molluscs (for example, [19,24-26]).
