中文摘要：
昆虫变态发育使得昆虫成为地球上种类最多、分布最广的动物种群。它特指末龄幼虫化蛹，或者蛹向成虫的转变过程。根据变态剧烈程度，可将昆虫变态发育简单分为增节变态、表变态、原变态、不完全变态及全变态 5种类型。此外，昆虫变态发育是一个极其复杂的生物学过程，受到激素、基因、营养等多种因素的精密调控。本文简要介绍了昆虫变态发育的类型和分子调控机理方面的研究进展。
英文摘要：Metamorphosis has allowed insects to become the most diverse and widely distributed land organisms. Metamorphosis is the biological process through which insect larvae develop into pupae and pupae develop into adults. It is divided into five types on the basis of the degree of morphological change that takes place, these types are; anamorphosis, epimorphosis, prometamorphosis, and incomplete and complete metamorphosis. Metamorphosis in insects is a complicated process that is accurately regulated by various factors, such as hormones, genes and nutrients. This review provides a brief description of the types of insect metamorphosis and their molecular regulatory mechanisms.
