Topic: Holometabola


In the News (Fri 1 Jan 10)

  
  Science & Philosophy :: View topic - Metamorphoses and insect flight; How bugs got their wings.
In addiion to this, they suggest that the wings had to evolve from articulated and circulated (with trachia and what not) for them to be any use.
I am not sure if you are getting pupa and larvae confused, but anyways, holometabola develop their wings internally (thats why they are sometimes refered to as endopterygota).
It is currently believed that holometabola develop the cyclical body shape because it is more primitve (ie like some insect far back in time).

 Hemimetabolous   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
One classification includes insects that have immatures with external wing pads, the Exopterygota, and species that have internal wing pads as larvae, the Endopterygota.
Another classification agrees with the previous demarcations but substitutes Hemimetabola for Exopterygota and Holometabola for Endopterygota.
Another view separates the Exopterygota into Paurometabola (for those whose immatures develop terrestrially) or Hemimetabola (whose immatures inhabit water) and retains the Endopterygota as a single unit, the Holometabola.

After metamorphosis, the froglets can usually come out of the water and feed on insects and other small animals.
Groups such as flies, moths, and butterflies (Holometabola) show a dramatic metamorphosis from the larvae (maggots, caterpillars) to adults.
The embryos hatch out as larvae, crawl around feeding voraciously and growing rapidly.

 Systematic Biology 46(1) Abstracts
Phylogenetic trees were generated by parsimony analysis, and clade robustness was evaluated by branch length, Bremer support, percentage of extra steps required to force paraphyly, and sensitivity analysis using the following parameters: gap weights, morphological character weights, methods of data set combination, removal of key taxa, and alignment region.
The data do not support placement of Strepsiptera outside of Holometabola nor as sister group to Coleoptera.
We reject the notion that the monophyly of Halteria is due to long branch attraction because Strepsiptera and Diptera do not have the longest branches and there is phylogenetic congruence between molecules, across the entire parameter space, and between morphological and molecular data.

"Lacewing" is the common name applied to insects belonging to the endopterygote (=Holometabola) order Neuroptera sensu stricto (=Planipennia) and describes the lace-like venational pattern of their delicate wings.
They are familiar to professional and amateur entomophiles alike because of their morphology and biology, with many families often prized as curiosities by collectors.
Neuroptera, along with the smaller orders, Raphidioptera and Megaloptera, are among the oldest Holometabola, many exhibiting a variety of primitive characteristics (Hennig 1981, New 1989, Kristensen 1999).
