Insects evolved their wings long before birds and bats, yet, we do not know how their wings evolved, said Courtney Clark-Hatchel (Miami ’12, Ph.D. ’18), first author of the paper. "Through searching ...

Marine Biological Laboratory scientists Heather Bruce and Nipam Patel have confirmed the origins of insect wings, using clues from long-ago scientific papers as well as state-of-the-art genomic ...

Insects incorporated two ancestral crustacean leg segments (labeled 7 in red and 8 in pink) into the body wall. The lobe on leg segment 8 later formed the wing in insects, while this corresponding ...

Shrimp look an awful lot like bugs. The exoskeletons, jointed legs and compound eyes of both groups of living things give ...

This allowed them to look deep back in time to when insects evolved from crustaceans (crabs, lobsters and prawns) and emerged onto land between 450 million and 500 million years ago.

Rare fossils preserving the brains of creatures living more than half a billion years ago shed new light on the evolution of arthropods such as insects and crustaceans. Exquisitely preserved ...

A new study examining stick and leaf insect species has found evidence of convergent evolution, with all of the insects evolving similar characteristics despite diverging long ago. Convergent ...

F or more than a century, researchers have argued over the evolutionary origin of insect wings. Although many hypotheses have been proposed, biologists typically support one of two competing ideas: ...

A strange tiny species of crustacean has challenged the way we think about natural selection and evolution. This microscopic animal, known as a water flea or Daphnia pulex, generates genetic ...
