Q

major factors in the success of arthropods

A
  • diverse
  • adaptable body plan

provides protection against environment
- jointed, hardened locomotory appendages; legs and wings hence greater dispersion

43
Q

looking at evolution of insects; first type we look at that are primitively wingless with mostly simple mouths are called:

A

apterygotes

44
Q

what is a modern day apterygote

45
Q

what group in the evolution of insects did we see the evolution of wings

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A

palaeoptera

  • 350 MYA
  • simple insects w simple development
  • wings of these insects did not fold over abdomen
46
Q

in the group palaeoptera the wings did not

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A

fold over abdomen

47
Q

modern day example of palaeoptera

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A

dragon flies and may flies

48
Q

after palaoptera, we saw orthopteroida, what was developed in this group

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A

development of wings that fold over abdomen

49
Q

some examples of orthopteroida; insects w wings that fold over abdomen

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A
  • grasshoppers
  • praying mantis
  • stick insects
  • cockroaches
50
Q

after the orthopteroida we saw evolution of two lineages

A

1) those that maintain simple development (hemimetabolous)
2) those with complete metamorphosis (holometabolous)

51
Q

hemimetabolous imeans what and includes what group in evolution

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A

those that maintain simple development

  • hemipteroida
52
Q

hemimetabolous life cycle consists of

A
  • egg
  • juvenile form (nymph) that look like adults but lack wings and not sexually mature
  • juveniles moult to grow
  • adults, often have wings but not always, sexual maturity
53
Q

nymph

A

juvenile form that look like adults but lack wings and not sexually mature (hemimetabolous)

54
Q

examples of hemiptera

55
Q

important disease caused by parasitic hemipteroida

56
Q

what 3 groups have true metamorphosis (holometabolous development)

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A
  • neuropteroida
  • hymenopteroida
  • panorpoida

(don’t worry about the differences between the groups)

57
Q

holometabolous development

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A
  • Larva v different from adult form
  • Larva specializes in feeding, growing and developing
  • Larva molts to grow, when fully developed it ceases feeding and then pupates
  • Pupa is a transitional phase; internally larva develops to sexual adult
  • Adult specializes in reproduction, dispersion, egg laying, can be feeding or non feeding
  • Classic ex is butterfly: larva is caterpillar, pupa is cocoon, adult is butterfly
58
Q

advantages of true metamorphosis (holometabolous)

insecta (hexapods) mandibulates

A
  • Major advantage; allows partitioning of life cycle
  • Allows adults to occupy a completely different habitat from larvae
  • Enables larvae and adults to exploit different food resources
  • Metamorphosis allows insects to escape from temporary habitats ex if larva lives in pond but then bond dries up it will still survive (before conditions become unfavorable for survival)
59
Q

insects, hexapods, mandibulates

A

lice, fleas, flies

60
Q
