Life cycles of dif...Insects are the most numerous animals on the Earth. They inhabit almost all habitats
and the diversity of their appearance continues to fascinate entomologists and laymen alike.
Life cycles of different insects are reflected in their morphology—every modification of
wings, legs, mouthparts, ovipositor, antennae, eyes and the differences in their patterns of
behaviour such as the location and mode of oviposition, migrations, feeding or sound
production point to the peculiarities of a particular life cycle. The goal of this thesis was to
gather data on morphology and behaviour of insects at the level of orders and use it to
reconstruct the evolutionary history of insects. The resulting cladogram roughly represents
the relations between certain groups. It is important to note that a morphological analysis
based on a relatively small sample of characters cannot produce an accurate cladogram at this
level.Read More
