The ‘tree lobsters’ are an enigmatic group of robust, ground-dwelling stick insects (order Phasmatodea) from the subfamily Eurycanthinae, distributed in New Guinea, New Caledonia and associated islands. Its most famous member is the Lord Howe Island stick insect Dryococelus australis (Montrouzier), which was believed to have become extinct but was rediscovered in 2001 and is considered to be one of the rarest insects in the world. To resolve the evolutionary position of Dryococelus, we constructed a phylogeny from approximately 2.4 kb of mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data from representatives of all major phasmatodean lineages. Our data placed Dryococelus and the New Caledonian tree lobsters outside the New Guinean Eurycanthinae as members of an unrelated Australasian stick insect clade, the Lanceocercata. These results suggest a convergent origin of the ‘tree lobster’ body form. Our reanalysis of tree lobster characters provides additional support for our hypothesis of convergent evolution. We conclude that the phenotypic traits leading to the traditional classification are convergent adaptations to ground-living behaviour. Our molecular dating analyses indicate an ancient divergence (more than 22 Myr ago) between Dryococelus and its Australian relatives. Hence, Dryococelus represents a long-standing separate evolutionary lineage within the stick insects and must be regarded as a key taxon to protect with respect to phasmatodean diversity. 相似文献

The mounds of ant nests have been characterized as structures that facilitate the colonization of habitats subject to extreme temperatures. My objective was to investigate the importance of the mound of Acromyrmex lobicornis (Formicidae, Attini) in this process. In the most climatically rigorous environment that this ant genus lives (northwestern Patagonia), I determined (1) the temperature range within Acromyrmex lobicornis nest-mounds, (2) the influence of mound damages on the mortality or abandonment rate of Acromyrmex lobicornis nests, and (3) compared, from the existing literature, the distribution limits between the species of Acromyrmex that do and do not construct mounds. The mounds of A. lobicornis function as 'thermal buffers' by diminishing the effects of external thermal variations, and previous mound damage increased mortality or abandonment only of colonies with nest mounds constructed on bare ground. Mounds constructed on tussock plants increased their diameter faster and recovered better from perturbations. This may be due to the structural support of plant stems facilitating repair. At a larger scale, the species of Acromyrmex with mounds have more southerly range limits than species that do not construct mounds, indicating an important function of this nest structure for the colonization of temperate environments. 相似文献

A detailed study of the exoskeleton and musculature of the phallic organ of Oxyartes lamellatus (Kirby, 1904) (Phasmatodea: Necrosciinae) is here presented - the first study of this kind for Phasmatodea. The asymmetrical phallic organ shows a highly complicated morphology, with several sclerites and many formative structural elements, of which a sclerotised bulb in the ejaculatory duct wall and a long flagellum arising from near it are among the most conspicuous. Four extrinsic and 20 intrinsic phallic muscles were found; many of these are quite compact bundles or sheets, while a few others are diffuse groups of fibres. Phallic morphology in Oxyartes is compared with the literature data on male genitalia in other Phasmatodea, but this is limited by the superficial treatment of phallic organs in the few relevant previous contributions. Yet, phallic organs appear as a useful new character system for phylogenetic reconstruction and species distinction in Phasmatodea. Comparison with phallic organs in other ‘orthopteroid’ insects shows that these organs are too different among orders as to allow for sound homologisation of phallic substructures. Consideration of development of phallic organs does not help in this aspect. There is no evidence of phasmatodean phallic organs being pedomorphic. 相似文献

Hybridogenetic reproduction has been demonstrated in both vertebrate and invertebrate unisexual hybrids. Its most peculiar feature is the transmission to the progeny of one invariant genome (hemiclone) through the egg and the replacement of the other by host fathering males. Bacillus hybridogens are the only known example of hemiclonal invertebrates; their comparison to Poeciliopsis and Rana systems helps in understanding peculiar and shared features of vertebrate and insect hybridogenesis. In P. monacha-lucida, the experimental production of non-hybrid progeny through the reunion of the maternal hemiclone with a homospecific paternal genome provided by males of the maternal ancestor leads to inviable or severely impaired sterile specimens, whereas in Rana esculenta viable offspring are the rule. The comparable synthetic B. rossius progeny (Rr) embodying the maternal R hemiclone and a paternal r haploset, appear perfectly viable and fertile, clearly demonstrating compatibility between the two homospecific genomes, and also supporting a lack of deterioration of the R hemiclone. This condition can be ascribed to the recent origin of the hemiclones, and also to the absence of lethal recessives, owing to their most likely derivation from an automictic doubling in the parthenogenetic mechanisms of the maternal ancestor. However, the hybridogenetic system breaks down in the gamete production of the majority of Rr females, since normal allele segregation also occurs in their progeny. These reproductive modes suggest a likely evolutionary dynamic for newly originated hybridogens: to achieve stability, an interruption of reproductive interactions with the maternal ancestor seems necessary. In stick insects, this constraint appears to be fulfilled in both areas of sympatry. The microevolutionary pathway suggested by the ecological scenario also supports the possibility that a shift of hemiclonal stick insect strains to clonality has occurred. 相似文献
