Comparative Endocrinology

Comparative endocrinology is concerned with the many complexities of vertebrate and invertebrate endocrine systems at the sub-molecular, molecular, cellular and organismal levels of analysis. It is an interdisciplinary knowledge in the fields of biology and medicine concerned with the morphological and functional aspects of organisms' development. ^[1] The discovery of new hormones often first occurs in model organisms before orthologs are found in mammals. ^[2]
