Abstract:

Holometabola is a hyperdiverse group characterised by a strong morphological differentiation between early post-embryonic stages (= larvae) and adults. Adult forms of Holometabola, such as wasps, bees, beetles, butterflies, mosquitoes or flies, are strongly differentiated concerning their mouth parts. The larvae most often seem to retain rather plesiomorphic-appearing cutting-grinding mouth parts. Here we report a new unusual larva preserved in Burmese amber. Its mouth parts appear beak-like, forming a distinct piercing mouth cone. Such a morphology is extremely rare among larval forms, restricted to those of some beetles and lacewings. The mouth parts of the new fossil are forward oriented (prognathous). Additionally, the larva has distinct subdivisions of tergites and sternites into several sclerites. Also, the abdomen segments bear prominent protrusions. We discuss this unusual combination of characters in comparison to the many different types of holometabolan larvae. The here reported larva is a new addition to the ‘unusual zoo’ of the Cretaceous fauna including numerous, very unusual appearing forms that have gone extinct at the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary.

Abstract:

Holometabolan insects, including beetles (Coleoptera), represent about half of all living organisms. Their development cycle, allowing larvae and adults to exploit distinct ecological niches, is traditionally advocated as a critical adaptation resulting in this extraordinary diversity. Herein I report the occurrence of a beetle from the Pennsylvanian deposit of Mazon Creek (IL, USA). It predates the diversification of Coleoptera by at least 65 million years. This identification supports the view that, early in their history, hyper-diverse extant holometabolan lineages were dominated by Palaeozoic lineages, mostly extinct. End-Permian environmental perturbations might have played an important role in the Triassic radiation of holometabolans. However, it is hypothesized that ecological preferences of holometabolans might have resulted in an earlier diversification of moderate importance, correlating to that of seed plants, their putative host plants. The evolutionary success of ‘holometaboly’ might be the result of a sequence of favorable events.

Abstract:

Neuropterida is a super order of Holometabola that consists of the orders Megaloptera (dobsonflies, fishflies, and alderflies), Neuroptera (lacewings) and Raphidioptera (snakeflies). Several proposed higher-level relationships within Neuropterida, such as the relationships between the orders or between the families, have been extensively debated. To further understand the evolutionary history of Neuropterida, we conducted phylogenomic analyses of all 13 published transcriptomes of the neuropterid species, as well as of a new transcriptome of the fishfly species Ctenochauliodes similis of Liu and Yang, 2006 (Megaloptera: Corydalidae: Chauliodinae) that we sequenced. Our phylogenomic data matrix contained 1392 ortholog genes from 22 holometabolan species representing six families from Neuroptera, two families from Raphidioptera, and two families from Megaloptera as the ingroup taxa, and nine orders of Holometabola as outgroups. Phylogenetic reconstruction was performed using both concatenation and coalescent-based approaches under a site-homogeneous model as well as under a site-heterogeneous model. Surprisingly, analyses using the site-homogeneous model strongly supported a paraphyletic Neuroptera, with Coniopterygidae assigned as the sister group of all other Neuropterida. In contrast, analyses using the site-heterogeneous model recovered Neuroptera as monophyletic. The monophyly of Neuroptera was also recovered in concatenation and coalescent-based analyses using genes with stronger phylogenetic signals [i.e., higher average bootstrap support (ABS) values and higher relative tree certainty including all conflicting bipartitions (RTCA) values] under the site-homogeneous model. The present study illustrated how both data selection and model selection influence phylogenomic analyses of large-scale data matrices comprehensively.

Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the relationships among insect orders with a main focus on Polyneoptera (lower Neoptera: roaches, mantids, earwigs, grasshoppers, etc.), and Paraneoptera (thrips, lice, bugs in the wide sense). The relationships between and within these groups of insects are difficult to resolve because only few informative molecular and morphological characters are available. Here, we provide the first phylogenomic expressed sequence tags data (‘EST’: short sub-sequences from a c(opy) DNA sequence encoding for proteins) for stick insects (Phasmatodea) and webspinners (Embioptera) to complete published EST data. As recent EST datasets are characterized by a heterogeneous distribution of available genes across taxa, we use different rationales to optimize the data matrix composition. Our results suggest a monophyletic origin of Polyneoptera and Eumetabola (Paraneoptera + Holometabola). However, we identified artefacts of tree reconstruction (human louse Pediculus humanus assigned to Odonata (damselflies and dragonflies) or Holometabola (insects with a complete metamorphosis); mayfly genus Baetis nested within Neoptera), which were most probably rooted in a data matrix composition bias due to the inclusion of sequence data of entire proteomes. Until entire proteomes are available for each species in phylogenomic analyses, this potential pitfall should be carefully considered.

Abstract:

Explaining the taxonomic richness of the insects, comprising over half of all described species, is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Previously, several evolutionary novelties (key innovations) have been posited to contribute to that richness, including the insect bauplan , wings, wing folding and complete metamorphosis, but evidence over their relative importance and modes of action is sparse and equivocal. Here, a new dataset on the first and last occurrences of fossil hexapod (insects and close relatives) families is used to show that basal families of winged insects (Palaeoptera, e.g. dragonflies) show higher origination and extinction rates in the fossil record than basal wingless groups (Apterygota, e.g. silverfish). Origination and extinction rates were maintained at levels similar to Palaeoptera in the more derived Polyneoptera (e.g. cockroaches) and Paraneoptera (e.g. true bugs), but extinction rates subsequently reduced in the very rich group of insects with complete metamorphosis (Holometabola, e.g. beetles). Holometabola show evidence of a recent slow-down in their high net diversification rate, whereas other winged taxa continue to diversify at constant but low rates. These data suggest that wings and complete metamorphosis have had the most effect on family-level insect macroevolution, and point to specific mechanisms by which they have influenced insect diversity through time.

Abstract:

The Carboniferous insect taxon †Stephanastus polinae was assigned to a monotypic new order †Skleroptera, which was postulated as the sister group of the clade Strepsiptera + Coleoptera (= Coleopterida). The placement of †Stephanastus in Holometabola and the proposed relationship with Coleopterida are very likely unjustified. Suggested shared derived features of Skleroptera + Coleopterida are vague, insufficiently documented (characters of proximal leg segments) or likely based on misinterpretation (wing veins). Based on the wing venation we suggest a position in the extinct hemimetabolous order †Protelytroptera.

Abstract:

The evolutionary success of insects was particularly shaped by the innovation of the metamorphosis, especially by the transition from hemimetaboly to holometaboly. The mechanisms underlying this evolutionary transition represent an unsolved question, although different approaches have been used to study them. In the present thesis we followed a transcriptomic approach, comparing data on mRNA and miRNA expression in key developmental moments, comprising embryonic and postembryonic stages, in species representing the hemimetabolan and holometabolan modes. Most of the work has been carried out in the hemimetabolan species Blattella germanica, but we have used also other reference species for comparison, especially the holometabolan Drosophila melanogaster and Tribolium castaneum. The results show that there are not qualitative gene differences between holometabolan and hemimetabolan species, but differences in patterns of expression and potential networking of orthologous genes. Transcription factors, epigenetic modifiers, and miRNAs appear as important players in both developmental modes.
L'èxit evolutiu dels insectes ha estat mercat per la innovació de la metamorfosi i, en especial, per la transició de la metamorfosi hemimetàbola a holometàbola. Els mecanismes subjacents en aquesta transició evolutiva representen una qüestió no resolta. Per tal d'estudiar aquesta transició, en aquesta tesi hem utilitzat un enfocament transcriptomic comparant dades de mRNA i miRNA en estadis clau del desenvolupament, incloent-hi estadis embrionaris i post embrionaris en espècies representatives de metamorfosis hemimetàbola i holometàbola. La major part dels anàlisis s'han centrat en l'hemimetàbola Blattella germanica, tot i que s'han utilitzat dades d'altres espècies com a contrast, especialment dels holometàbols Drosophila melanogaster i Tribolium castaneum. Els resultats mostren que no hi ha diferències qualitatives en relació a gens dels hemimetàbols i holometàbols, en canvi les principals diferències consisteixen en els diferents perfils d'expressió de gens comuns i la seva xarxa de d'interacció. Els factors de transcripció, els modificadors epigenètics i els miRNAs emergeixen com a principals protagonistes dels mecanismes reguladors en ambdós models de desenvolupament.

Abstract:

L'origine et les premiers stades du developpement des muscles du vol dorso-longitudinaux et dorso-ventraux ont ete etudies chez deux insectes holometaboles, chironomus plumosus (diptere nematocere) et pieris brassicae (lepidoptere rhopalocere). Chez chironomus, le muscle tergotrochanteral a egalement ete etudie. Ces recherches ont ete effectuees a l'aide de la microscopie photonique et electronique. Des dissections et des coupes seriees du segment mesothoracique ont ete effectuees a des stades consecutifs du developpement au cours du dernier stade larvaire. La region de l'innervation des ebauches musculaires a ete plus particulierement etudiee. Les muscles du vol s'elaborent a partir et a la place de muscles larvaires particuliers auxquels sont associes des myoblastes. Ces myoblastes sont situes sur la face innervee des muscles, pres des terminaisons neuromusculaires, sous la lame basale musculaire epaisse qui est en continuite avec celle des nerfs. La possibilite d'une migration des myoblastes le long des lames basales des nerfs est envisagee. L'etude de l'evolution des ebauches musculaires met en evidence l'importance fondamentale des caracteristiques de la fibre musculaire elle-meme. Le muscle tergotrochanteral se forme a partir de myoblastes situes le long d'un axone larvaire

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the molecular evolutionary and macroevolutionary consequences of flight loss in insects. Chapter 2 tests the hypothesis that flightless groups have smaller effective population sizes than related flighted groups, expected to result in a consistent pattern of increased non-synonymous to synonymous ratios in flightless lineages due to the greater effect of genetic drift in smaller populations. Chapter 3 tests the hypothesis that reduced dispersal and species-level traits such as range size associated with flightlessness increase extinction rates, which over the long term will counteract increased speciation rates in flightless lineages, leading to lower net diversification. The wide-spread loss of flight in insects has led to increased molecular evolutionary rates and is associated with decreased long-term net diversification. I demonstrate that the fundamental trait of dispersal ability has shaped two forms of diversity—molecular and species—in the largest group of animals, and that microevolutionary and macroevolutionary patterns do not necessarily mirror each other.

Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) es considerada la plaga más nociva de las crucíferas cultivadas en el mundo, ya que ataca un amplio rango de especies silvestres y cultivadas de Brassicaceae, posee una gran capacidad de adaptación a diferentes condiciones climáticas, por lo que la ha llevado a convertirse en un insecto cosmopolita. En términos económicos puede generar grandes pérdidas en el rendimiento de los cultivos (hasta del 90%), ya sea directa o indirectamente, en toda la cadena de producción. Para su control se han utilizado diversos insecticidas químicos a los que esta especie fue desarrollando resistencia. Plutella xylostella es un insecto holometábolo; conocer sobre el ciclo de vida de las plagas es de utilidad para los programas de manejo integrado de plagas (MIP). El parámetro más influyente para el desarrollo de los insectos es la temperatura; la mayoría de los insectos no toleran las bajas temperaturas debido a su incapacidad de mantener un equilibrio interno estable de iones de sal y agua en el organismo. Así, se propone como objetivo general determinar el efecto de la temperatura sobre diferentes parámetros biológicos de Plutella xylostella en el cinturón verde de la ciudad de Córdoba. Para ello, se colectaron individuos inmaduros en campos de repollo blanco (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) en el cinturón verde de Córdoba y fueron criados en cajas de Petri hasta llegar a adulto. Éstos se liberaron en jaulas donde había bandejas con plántulas de colza para que ovipongan. Se recolectaron los huevos y se criaron en condiciones controladas de laboratorio, a cinco temperaturas constantes (5°C, 15°C, 23°C, 25°C Y 30°C) con disposición de alimento. Se registraron los tiempos de desarrollo y supervivencia de los diferentes estados (huevo, larva, pupa y adulto). Por último, en un segundo ensayo, se tomaron adultos nacidos en las jaulas de cría para medir la fecundidad y fertilidad y evaluarla mediante un test de comparaciones múltiples. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó el software Infostat y se ajustaron los modelos de desarrollo mediante el programa “Statistica”. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la supervivencia a distintas temperaturas: a temperaturas intermedias la supervivencia fue óptima a 23°C, a temperaturas bajas y altas, 5°C y 30°C, respectivamente; ninguno de los individuos logró llegar a adulto, la supervivencia a esas temperaturas fue nula. Los resultados demuestran que, tanto para la fecundidad como para la fertilidad, la temperatura de 15° resultó ser óptima, a temperaturas muy altas como 30°C, los valores de fecundidad fueron considerablemente bajos, pero con una tasa alta de fertilidad. A temperaturas bajas (5°C), tanto los valores de fecundidad como los de fertilidad fueron muy bajos. Las relaciones entre las tasas de desarrollo con respecto a la temperatura de los estados de huevo, y Larva 1, (r = 0.36, p < 0,05 para huevos, y r = 0,6, p < 0,05 para Larva 1), fueron representadas mediante la función lineal Campbell. Para el resto de los estadios, incluyendo el ciclo completo de los individuos, la misma relación se caracterizó mediante la función Lactin-1.
