Abstract

Plants produce alkaloids that commonly act on insect nervous systems and, in many cases, interfere with insect neuroendocrine signalling (directly or indirectly). This review summarizes conceptual frameworks and empirical evidence (reviews and representative studies up to April 2018) for: (1) which classes of alkaloids interact with insect neuroendocrine axes
