[The effect of a juvenile hormone mimetic on the ovarian function of allatectomized females of Labidura riparia (Insecta, Dermaptera].

The methyl-3, 7, 11-trimethyl-11-chlorine-2-dodecanoate, a Juvenile Hormone analogue, used at different doses on allatectomised females of Labidura riparia, starts a vitellogenesis, a rapid disappearance of follicular degenerations and in some cases an intensive eggs laying. However, neither the normal reproductive cycle nor the parental comportment have been reconstituted.
