An ancient FMRFamide-related peptide–receptor pair induces defence behaviour in a brachiopod larva

Animal behaviour often comprises spatially separated sub-reactions and even ciliated larvae are able to coordinate sub-reactions of complex behaviours (metamorphosis, feeding). How these sub-reactions are coordinated is currently not well understood. Neuropeptides are potential candidates for trigge...
