  • Evolution of the Insects David Grimaldi and Michael S
    Cambridge University Press 0521821495 - Evolution of the Insects David Grimaldi and Michael S. Engel Frontmatter More information EVOLUTION OF THE INSECTS Insects are the most diverse group of organisms to appear in the 3-billion-year history of life on Earth, and the most ecologically dominant animals on land. This book chronicles, for the first time, the complete evolutionary history of insects: their living diversity, relationships, and 400 million years of fossils. Whereas other volumes have focused on either living species or fossils, this is the first comprehensive synthesis of all aspects of insect evolution. Current estimates of phylogeny are used to interpret the 400-million-year fossil record of insects, their extinctions, and radiations. Introductory sections include the living species, diversity of insects, methods of reconstructing evolutionary relationships, basic insect structure, and the diverse modes of insect fossilization and major fossil deposits. Major sections cover the relationships and evolution of each order of hexapod. The book also chronicles major episodes in the evolutionary history of insects: their modest beginnings in the Devonian, the origin of wings hundreds of millions of years before pterosaurs and birds, the impact that mass extinctions and the explosive radiation of angiosperms had on insects, and how insects evolved the most complex societies in nature. Evolution of the Insects is beautifully illustrated with more than 900 photo- and electron micrographs, drawings, diagrams, and field photographs, many in full color and virtually all original. The book will appeal to anyone engaged with insect diversity: professional ento- mologists and students, insect and fossil collectors, and naturalists. David Grimaldi has traveled in 40 countries on 6 continents collecting and studying recent species of insects and conducting fossil excavations.

  • GAYANA Assessing Climatic and Intrinsic Factors That Drive Arthropod
    GAYANA Gayana (2020) vol. 84, No. 1, 25-36 DOI: XXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ORIGINAL ARTICLE Assessing climatic and intrinsic factors that drive arthropod diversity in bird nests Evaluando los factores climáticos e intrínsecos que explican la diversidad de artrópodos dentro de nidos de aves Gastón O. Carvallo*, Manuel López-Aliste, Mercedes Lizama, Natali Zamora & Giselle Muschett Instituto de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Campus Curauma, Avenida Universidad 330, Valparaíso, Chile. *E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Bird nests are specialized structures that act as microrefuge and a source of food for arthropods. Nest arthropod richness and composition may vary according to the nest builder, geographical location and nest size. Because information on nest arthropods is scarce, there are even fewer studies on the drivers of nest arthropod diversity. We characterized arthropod diversity in cup- and dome-shaped nests along a 130 km latitudinal gradient in the mediterranean-type region of Central Chile and, we assessed whether nest dimensions and climatic factors explain richness (alpha-diversity). Then, we evaluated whether climatic differences between sites explain arthropod nest composition (beta-diversity). All collected nests hosted at least one arthropod specimen. We identified 43 taxonomic entities (4.2 entities per nest ± 0.5, mean ± SE, n = 27 nests) belonging to 18 orders and five classes: Arachnida, Diplopoda, Entognatha, Insecta and Malacostraca. We observed differences in nest arthropod richness and composition related to sites but not bird species. Larger nests supported greater arthropod richness. Furthermore, we observed that climatic differences explain the variation in arthropod composition between sites. Nests in the northern region (drier and warmer) mainly hosted Hemipterans and Hymenopterans.

The objective of this study was to determine if there were any common factors in skin scrapings collected from this population. These individuals, whose symptoms were originally attributed to lice or scabies, were part of a larger group reporting symptoms of stinging/biting and/or crawling to the NPA. Multiple skin scrapings from each person were microscopically examined. Any and all fields of view that appeared incongruous to normal human skin were digitally photographed. When the photographic images were initially evaluated, no common factor was identified. However, more extensive scrutiny using imaging software revealed evidence of Collembola in 18 of the 20 participants. Key words: Collembola, springtail, stinging, biting, crawling, Arthropoda, Hexapoda, Entognatha, pediculosis, human skin, lice and scabies.

  • Insect Glycerol Transporters Evolved by Functional Co-Option and Gene Replacement
    ARTICLE Received 3 Mar 2015 | Accepted 12 Jun 2015 | Published 17 Jul 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms8814 OPEN Insect glycerol transporters evolved by functional co-option and gene replacement Roderick Nigel Finn1,2, Franc¸ois Chauvigne´1,3, Jon Anders Stavang1, Xavier Belles4 & Joan Cerda`3 Transmembrane glycerol transport is typically facilitated by aquaglyceroporins in Prokaryota and Eukaryota. In holometabolan insects however, aquaglyceroporins are absent, yet several species possess polyol permeable aquaporins. It thus remains unknown how glycerol transport evolved in the Holometabola. By combining phylogenetic and functional studies, here we show that a more efficient form of glycerol transporter related to the water-selective channel AQP4 specifically evolved and multiplied in the insect lineage, resulting in the replacement of the ancestral branch of aquaglyceroporins in holometabolan insects. To recapitulate this evolutionary process, we generate specific mutants in distantly related insect aquaporins and human AQP4 and show that a single mutation in the selectivity filter con- verted a water-selective channel into a glycerol transporter at the root of the crown clade of hexapod insects. Integration of phanerozoic climate models suggests that these events were associated with the emergence of complete metamorphosis and the unparalleled radiation of insects. 1 Department of Biology, Bergen High Technology Center, University of Bergen, PO Box 7803, N-5020 Bergen, Norway. 2 Institute of Marine Research, PO Box 1870 Nordnes, 5817 Bergen, Norway. 3 Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimenta`ries (IRTA)-Institut de Cie`ncies del Mar, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientı´ficas (CSIC), Passeig Marı´tim 37-49, 08003 Barcelona, Spain. 4 Institute of Evolutionary Biology (CSIC-Universitat Pompeu Fabra), Passeig Marı´tim 37-49, 08003 Barcelona, Spain.

Palaeoentomology began formally in the late XVIIIth Century with publications on fossil insects in amber. At the start of the XIXth Century, the first studies and descriptions of insects from sedimentary rocks appeared. This discipline then developed during the XIXth and beginning of the XXth centuries, and resulted in major works and reviews. The end of the XXth and the beginning of XXIst centuries (especially after the famous film “Jurassic Park,” produced by Steven Spielberg in 1993 and based on the eponymous novel of Michael Crichton, together with the discovery of new rock and amber outcrops with fossil insects of different geological ages in various parts of the world), witnessed a significant and exponential growth of the science of palaeoentomology resulting in a huge amount of high- quality international scientific work, using the most advanced analytical, phylogenetic and imaging techniques.
