Most of my work has been on the hormonal control of fluid secretion by insect Malpighian tubules. My present purpose is mostly to describe some previously unpublished results in this area and put them in context of what was already known. In this, I hope to draw attention to some areas where future research might be productive.

Key words: Malpighian tubule, diuretic hormones, ions and water, epithelial transport, fluid secretion, transport of organic compounds
