这篇文章来源于蒂莫西布拉德利和阿德里安娜·萨科组织的一个全社会范围的研讨会，并在马萨诸塞州波士顿的综合与比较生物学学会2009年年会上发表。大卫格里马尔迪提供了开幕演讲，其中列概述了主要的进化事件的形成和随后的多样化的昆虫分支。随后，发言者详细介绍了特定生理和/或行为特征的进化历史，这些特征使昆虫在生态学上取得了成功，并成为生物学研究的对象。这些包括昆虫的进化历史，飞行的起源，呼吸调节，气管系统的进化，色觉的进化，生物钟和真社会性的进化。这些主题，正如演讲者所涵盖的那样，提供了我们所知的昆虫动物群体进化多样化和专业化的模式和时间的概述。
This article derives from a society-wide symposium organized by Timothy Bradley and Adriana Briscoe and presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology in Boston, Massachusetts. David Grimaldi provided the opening presentation in which lie outlined the major evolutionary events in the formation and subsequent diversification of the insect clade. This presentation was followed by speakers who detailed the evolutionary history of specific physiological and/or behavioral traits that have caused insects to be both ecologically successful and fascinating as subjects for biological study. These include a review of the evolutionary history of the insects, the origins of flight, osmoregulation, the evolution of tracheal systems, the evolution of color vision, circadian clocks, and the evolution of eusociality. These topics, as covered by the speakers, provide an overview of the pattern and timing of evolutionary diversification and specialization in the group of animals we know as insects.
