dc.description.abstractIn the present paper the effects of precocene on N. lugens strains obtained by successive selection for adults with specific wing form under highly crowded conditions over 70 generations are reported. When precocene II was applied, macropterous adults developed from presumptive brachypters. Our results also demonstrated the disruptive effects of precocene I1 on metamorphosis, and we report here the induction of precocious metamorphosis in N. lugens in details for the first time. The sensitive periods to precocene 11, affccting wing dimorphism and metamorphosis, differed between the two strains.en_US
