This genus consists of 159 species distributed in India (21 species), Sri Lanka (6 species), Bhutan (1 species), Myanmar (6 species), Thailand (1 species), Vietnam (12 species), Malaysia (4 species from Peninsular part and Borneo), Indonesia (18 species from Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Key islands), the Philippines (3 species), China includ- ing Taiwan (74 species), Japan (1 species), Korea (1 species), and Russia (1 species) (Brock et al., 2021). Three phasmid species have been described in the genus Baculum Saussure, 1861 from the Russian Far East, Korea and North-East China respectively (Bey-Bienko, 1960; Kwon et al., 1992; Chen & He, 1994) and later transferred to the genus Ramulus (Otte & Brock, 2005). As a result of detailed examination of the type specimens of Ramulus ussurianus (Bey-Bienko, 1960), additional material and descriptions of these species, it became clear that specimens from Russia, Korea and North-East China are conspecific. Material and methods The present study is based on the collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Peters- burg, Russia (ZIN), the Federal Scientific Center of the East Asia Terrestrial Biodiversity, Vladivostok, Russia (FSCB), and the National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon, Korea (NIBR), as well as on the critical analysis of published data. The morphological terminology followed those of Bragg (1997) and terminology for the egg follows Clark Sellick (1997). Photographs of egg were taken with an Olympus SZX16 stereomicroscope and an Olympus DP74 digital camera, and then stacked using Helicon Focus software. The final illustrations were post-processed for contrast and brightness using Adobe® Photoshop® software. Black and white drawings were made under a MBS-10 stereomicroscope.

Leavitt Department of Biology Brigham Young University Copyright © 2018 Yelena Marlese Pacheco All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Ecomorph Convergence in Stick Insects (Phasmatodea) with Emphasis on the Lonchodinae of Papua New Guinea Yelena Marlese Pacheco Department of Biology, BYU Master of Science Phasmatodea exhibit a variety of cryptic ecomorphs associated with various microhabitats. Multiple ecomorphs are present in the stick insect fauna from Papua New Guinea, including the tree lobster, spiny, and long slender forms. While ecomorphs have long been recognized in phasmids, there has yet to be an attempt to objectively define and study the evolution of these ecomorphs.

To shed light on the intra-ordinal and inter-ordinal relationships among Phas- matodea, more mitochondrial genomes of stick insects are used to explore mitogenome structures and clarify the disputes regarding the phylogenetic relationships among Phasmatodea. We sequence and annotate the first acquired complete mitochondrial genome from the family Pseudophasmati- dae (Peruphasma schultei), the first reported mitochondrial genome from the genus Phryganistria Citation: Xu, K.-K.; Chen, Q.-P.; Ayivi, of Phasmatidae (P. guangxiensis), and the complete mitochondrial genome of Orestes guangxiensis S.P.G.; Guan, J.-Y.; Storey, K.B.; Yu, belonging to the family Heteropterygidae.

Novel genes can arise not only via duplication or 17 mutation but also by acquiring foreign DNA, also called horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Here 18 we show that HGT likely contributed to the creation of a novel gene indispensable for 19 reproduction in some insects. Long considered a novel gene with unknown origin, oskar has 20 evolved to fulfil a crucial role in insect germ cell formation. Our analysis of over 100 insect 21 Oskar sequences suggests that Oskar arose de novo via fusion of eukaryotic and prokaryotic 22 sequences. This work shows that highly unusual gene origin processes can give rise to novel 23 genes that can facilitate evolution of novel developmental mechanisms.

Frederick, A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor Johannes Schul Professor Sarah L. Bush Professor Lori Eggert Professor Richard Houseman Professor J. Chris Pires ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge all past and present Schul lab members, as well as all of the scientists that have contributed to the field of knowledge of Necoconocephalus acoustic communication; the time and effort of each of them contributed a data point or many points for use in comparative methods. I would like to thank Katie Kilmer, Oli Beckers, Gideon Ney, Nathan Thompson, and Megan Murphy for their help collecting specimens. I would like to thank Rob Snyder for his guidance in sequencing and tree building. Finally, I would like to thank Kate Hertweck, Roxi Kellar and Corey Hudson for their help with data analysis and discussions of evolutionary theory. Most importantly I would like to thank Johannes Schul and Sarah Bush. The Schul lab environment allowed me to bring knowledge and ideas from my previous studies and build on it in ways I never could have predicted.
