MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR ENDOCRINOLOGY, 247(1-2), 91–102.

By: T. Gorr *, C. Rider n, H. Wang n, A. Olmstead n & G. LeBlanc n 

author keywords: methyl farnesoate; juvenoid; crustacean; response element; sex determination
MeSH headings : Animals; Base Sequence; Cycloheximide / pharmacology; Daphnia / genetics; Daphnia / physiology; Fatty Acids, Unsaturated / metabolism; Hemoglobins / biosynthesis; Hemoglobins / genetics; Hemoglobins / physiology; Juvenile Hormones / metabolism; Molecular Sequence Data; Promoter Regions, Genetic; Pyridines / metabolism; RNA, Messenger / biosynthesis; Receptors, Cytoplasmic and Nuclear / genetics; Receptors, Cytoplasmic and Nuclear / metabolism; Response Elements; Signal Transduction

2004 journal article

Non-target toxicology of a new mosquito larvicide, trypsin modulating oostatic factor

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY, 80(3), 131–142.

By: D. Thompson n, H. Young n, F. Edens n, A. Olmstead n, G. LeBlanc n , E. Hodgson n, R. Roe n 

author keywords: trypsin modulating oostatic factor; TMOF; insecticide; mosquito; mouse; rabbit; duck; water flea
TL;DR: It appears from these studies that T MOF can be degraded by vertebrate digestive proteases and technical TMOF is not toxic to the non-target organisms examined. (via Semantic Scholar)

Stress signaling: coregulation of hemoglobin and male sex determination through a terpenoid signaling pathway in a crustacean

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY, 208(1), 15–23.

By: C. Rider n, T. Gorr *, A. Olmstead n, B. Wasilak n & G. Leblanc n 

author keywords: Cladocera; juvenoid; endocrine disruption; evolution; nuclear receptor; Daphnia magna
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animals; Base Sequence; DNA Primers; Daphnia / physiology; Electrophoresis; Fatty Acids, Unsaturated / pharmacology; Hemoglobins / genetics; Hemoglobins / metabolism; Male; Molecular Sequence Data; Reproduction / physiology; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Sex Differentiation / drug effects; Signal Transduction / physiology; Spectrophotometry; Stress, Physiological / metabolism; Terpenes / metabolism
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that two responses to environmental stress signaling in the crustacean Daphnia magna - hemoglobin accumulation and male offspring production - are co-elevated by the crustACEan terpenoid hormone methyl farnesoate and several synthetic analogs, suggesting that both processes are regulated by the same ter penoid signaling pathway.
