... his first paper on a moth that he had found for the first time in East Prussia. In 1928 Dietrich moved to the University of Berlin, where he became a research assistant in experimental morphology at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology.

... ,,, ~ ~ ~ ~ _ ~ C, ~ Dietrich's growing scientific reputation was recognized with a Guggenheim fellowship, which he held in the Department of Zoology at Columbia from 1941 to 1943. From there he moved briefly to the Connecticut Agricultural Exneriment Station in New Haven before settling down as an -r i_ insect physiologist at the Army Chemical Center at Edgewood, Maryland, a position he held from 1945 to 1958.

... From 1958 to 1960 Dietrich served as embryologist with the Gerontology Branch of the National Heart Institute, based in the Baltimore City hospitals. He then entered the final stage of his career, accepting the Lewis and Clark Professorship and the chairmanship of the Department of Biology at the University of Virginia.

... to find out whether the timing of larval molts ant! the differences between larval and pupal molts were controlled by time-clependent processes within the cells of the skin itself or by signals from some internal source.
From page 53...
... He reasoned that there would be very little growth hormone in adult animals so that he might use the body cavity of adults as culture chambers. When he transplanted imaginal discs into the body cavities of adult males, they did indeed remain in good condition, although there was no evidence of growth or development.
From page 54...
... The presence of juvenile hormone therefore maintains the juvenile condition and prevents the formation of the pupa. In the control experiment similar pairs without an active corpus aliatum both underwent a pupal molt.
