摘要：

Molting in a terrestrial isopod, Armadillidium vulgare, and in a fresh water crayfish, Procambarus sp. can be induced by an insect steroid hormone, ecdysterone. This is the first demonstration of induction of molting in a crustacean by a specific chemical. Arguments are presented that steroid hormones evolved in pre-Cambrian times, more than 600 million years ago. © 1969.
