Insect evolution
It goes without saying that insects epitomize diversity, and with over a million documented species they stand out as one of the most remarkable lineages in the 3.5-billion-year history of life on earth (Figure 1). This reality is passé to even the layperson and is taken for granted in the same way none of us think much of our breathing as we go about our day, and yet insects are just as vital ...
متن کاملInsect evolution: How did insect wings originate?
Recent developmental studies aimed at elucidating the evolutionary origin of insect wings highlight the difficulties of identifying homology between dramatically different structures.
متن کاملEvolution of Insect Olfaction
Neuroethology utilizes a wide range of multidisciplinary approaches to decipher neural correlates of natural behaviors associated with an animal's ecological niche. By placing emphasis on comparative analyses of adaptive and evolutionary trends across species, a neuroethological perspective is uniquely suited to uncovering general organizational and biological principles that shape the function...
متن کاملEvolution of insect P450.
The first fully sequenced insect genomes were those of the fruitfly and the mosquito, both from the order Diptera. Now, with an increasing number and diversity of insect genomes becoming available, the diversity of insect P450 genes can be better appreciated and tentative ideas about the evolution of the CYP (cytochrome P450) superfamily in insects can be proposed. There are four large clades o...
متن کاملEvolution of insect patterning.
Insect evolution, which spans several hundred million years, has generated the one million or so species of insects that inhabit the earth today, making the class Insecta the largest class in the animal kingdom (1). The insects display a staggering variety of adult morphologies and occupy an enormous range of ecological niches, but despite their diversity, they all share a remarkably well conse...
