Abstract
Highlights: [•] Insect capa peptides modulate diuresis (fluid secretion) by malpighian tubules. [•] Capa peptides have a very complex mode of action involving calcium and cyclic GMP. [•] The capa receptor (capaR) is a G-protein coupled receptor. [•] Drosophila transgenics reveal new roles for capa signaling in desiccation tolerance. [•] Further knowledge of capa function in insect pests may reveal new routes of control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
