[Influence of a juvenile hormone analog on ovarian function in parasectomized Labidura riparia (Insecta, Dermaptera) females].

The juvenile hormone analogue (methyl 3.7.11-trimethyl 11-chloro 2-dodecanoate), after administration at various doses on parsectomised female earwigs prevented the degeneration of follicular cells of ovaries and also induced a rapid vitellogenesis followed usually by an oviposition. However, the normal reproductive cycle and the parental care could not be restored in such treated female Insects.
