      Similarly, while most of the jaw MNs of amphibian tadpoles persist after the breakdown of the larval musculature, about 10% of them die (Farel, 1987), most likely because there is no adult counterpart of their larval targets (Barnes and Alley, 1983). However, MN death during amphibian metamorphosis is also due to competition after an initial overproduction of MNs (Grinnell and Herrera, 1981). A second important reason of MN loss in the abdominal CNS of insects are male- and female-specific patterns of cell death (Giebultowicz and Truman, 1984; Thorn and Truman, 1989).
