G. Müller,Verena Rieger,Birgen H. Rothe,Martin E.J. Stegner,Steffen Harzsch +21 more
TL;DR: The use of revised neuroanatomical terminology in any new descriptions of the anatomy of invertebrate nervous systems will improve the comparability of this organ system and its substructures between the various taxa, and finally even lead to better and more robust homology hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurophylogeny: Architecture of the nervous system and a fresh view on arthropod phyologeny.
TL;DR: A thorough overview is given of characters derived from structure and development of the arthropod brain and the ventral nerve cord from the cellular level to the level of larger neuropil systems that support the new Tetraconata hypothesis suggested by Dohle and provide evidence for a clade that unites malacostracan and remipede crustaceans with the Hexapoda.
Journal ArticleDOI
It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature: Functional Materials in Insects
Thomas Schroeder,Thomas Schroeder,Jared Houghtaling,Jared Houghtaling,Bodo D. Wilts,Michael Mayer +5 more
TL;DR: The insects presented display dazzling optical properties as a result of natural photonic crystals, precise hierarchical patterns that span length scales from nanometers to millimeters, and formidable defense mechanisms that deploy an arsenal of chemical weaponry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Dynamic Evolutionary History of Pancrustacean Eyes and Opsins
Miriam J. Henze,Todd H. Oakley +1 more
TL;DR: The evolutionary history of eyes and opsins across the principle groups of Pancrustacea is examined, revealing a particularly dynamic history, with losses of eyes, duplication and loss of opsin genes, and changes in opsin expression between types of eyes.
Journal ArticleDOI
400 million years on six legs: On the origin and early evolution of Hexapoda
TL;DR: The morphological evidence in support of Tracheata is reviewed, and most features are found to be ambiguous, though some appear to be synapomorphic, such as tentorial structure and the presence of styli and eversible vesicles.
