Distribution of serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) on digestive tract of red palm weevil larva, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae)

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Dryopthoridae) is a well-known deadly pest of palmae tree worldwide. The larvae of RPW is the most destructive stage of its life cycle and caused great economic lost to palm tree plantation for example the coconut tree plantations. In...
