Abstract
⺠The Robo receptor family has expanded by gene duplication in insects. ⺠Slit and Robos have highly conserved roles in midline repulsion in flies and beetles. ⺠Insects build similar nervous systems using different numbers of Robos receptors. ⺠TcRobo2/3 combines lateral positioning functions of DmRobo2 and DmRobo3. ⺠Flies and beetles employ distinct mechanisms to regulate Robo receptor activity.
