The evolution of insect flight as documented in the fossil record

化石记录中记载的昆虫飞行的进化

基本信息

项目摘要

The appearance of wings is one the most spectacular novelties in insect evolution that took place already hundreds millions of years ago. The oldest unequivocal fossils of winged insects (Pterygota) are ca. 320 million years old. Other, ca. 400 million year old, fragmentary fossils indicate that already at that time pterygote species existed. Despite of, or perhaps because of, this very long evolutionary history, it is still not clear how and when exactly the flight apparatus of insects originated. Even extensive investigations in the extant Pterygota could not, so far, answer basic questions on the sequence of events, especially during the early time of the evolution of insect flight. For example, it is not clear from which parts of the insect body the wings originated and the phylogenetic relationships among the subgroups of Pterygota are still largely unresolved. This is true for the extant pterygotes like Ephemeroptera, Odonata and Neoptera including their fossil members, but also and especially for the extinct Palaeozoic Palaeodictyoptera, Diaphanopterodea, Permothemistida and Megasecoptera.To gain a better understanding of the processes during the evolution of the flight apparatus of the insects as well as of the evolution of insects in general, we will study Palaeozoic fossils from all higher taxa of Pterygota that show important parts of the flight apparatus beyond the venation of the wings, like the often complex wing joint and the thorax. We will investigate specimens from several Carboniferous and Permian fossil sites like, e.g., Hagen-Vorhalle (Germany), Commentry (France), Mazon Creek (USA), Sosnowiec (Poland), Tshekarda (Russia) with microscopy as well as with high resolution X-ray tomography, 3D-surface scanning (photogrammerty) and scanning electron microscopy. The comparative analysis of the acquired data, together with information on extant pterygotes, will allow for the reconstruction of the ancestral states of the flight apparatus of Pterygota as well as its subgroups. This will substantially extend our knowledge and understanding of the evolution of the insects, the group that by far comprises the largest number of species among all organisms.
翅膀的出现是数亿年前昆虫进化中最引人注目的新奇事物之一。最古老的有翅昆虫化石(Pterygota)是约。3.2亿年前其他,CA。4亿年前的碎片化石表明,当时已经存在有翼动物物种。尽管,或者也许是因为,这一非常漫长的进化历史,仍然不清楚昆虫的飞行器官是如何以及何时起源的。到目前为止,即使对现存的翅虫进行了广泛的研究,也不能回答关于事件发生顺序的基本问题,特别是在昆虫飞行进化的早期。例如,翅膀起源于昆虫身体的哪一部分尚不清楚,而翼门各亚群之间的系统发育关系在很大程度上仍然没有解决。这不仅适用于现存的蜉蝣目、蜻蜓目和新翅目等有翅类动物及其化石成员,而且适用于已灭绝的古生代古网翅目、半翅目、透翅目和大翅目。为了更好地了解昆虫飞行器官的进化过程以及昆虫的一般进化,我们将研究古生代的化石,这些化石来自翼门的所有高等分类群,它们显示了翼的脉序之外的飞行器官的重要部分,比如通常复杂的翼关节和胸部。我们将研究来自几个石炭纪和二叠纪化石遗址的标本,例如,Hagen-Vorhalle(德国)、Commentry(法国)、Mazon Creek(美国)、索斯诺维茨(波兰)、Tshekarda(俄罗斯),使用显微镜以及高分辨率X射线断层扫描、3D表面扫描(摄影术)和扫描电子显微镜。比较分析所获得的数据,连同现存的翼,将允许重建的祖先状态的飞行器的翼以及它的亚群。这将大大扩展我们对昆虫进化的认识和理解,昆虫是迄今为止所有生物中物种数量最多的一组。
