Abstract Insects are the most animals on both number and diverse. They are the bearers of plant pollination, important biological resources (such as medicinal purposes). On the other hand, insects are the propagators of diseases, the enemy of agriculture, forestry, and crop production. The proliferation of insect populations not only depends on developed neurosensory systems and a series of response mechanisms, but also on strong reproductive capacities. Insects have a complex reproductive structure and a variety of reproductive methods. As a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, and neurohormone, biogenic amine is an important factor correlated with many physiological events such as reproductive development and reproductive behavior in insects. This article reviews the effects of biogenic amines on insect reproduction from the aspects of reproductive status, germ cell and organ development, mating behavior and oviposition behavior. It also describes the current status and bottlenecks of study for the impact of biogenic amines on insect reproduction, and looks forward to development in the future.
