1 The Phylogeny of Hexapoda and the Evolution of Megadiversity ECE 2018 Napoli Rolf G. Beutel Institut für Spezielle Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie Entomology Group, Phyletisches Museum

2 Diversity ca described species!!! Hexapoda

3 Pioneer studies in biodiversity research: Dr. T. L. Erwin Canopy fogging, Dr. T.L. Erwin, Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History ca estimated insect species!!! Stork et al. 2015: species

4 No climate change!!!

5 Milestone of insect systematics Insect Morphology Willi Hennig, Grundzüge der Theorie einer phylogenetischen Systematik (1950) Die Stammesgeschichte der Insekten (1969)

6 Phylogeny

7 Börner 1904 No consistent and well-defined phylogenetic methods

8 Haeckel 1896 Systematische Phylogenie der wirbellosen Thiere

9 INSECT PHYLOGENY FROM THE INITIATIVE Methods: Fresh tissue collected in RNAlater Sequenced 103 taxa at BGI Illumina HiSeq bp insert-size libraries 150 bp paired-end sequencing ~2.5Gb per taxon Assembled with SOAPdenovo-trans Orthology prediction with modified HaMStR Hidden Markov models from OrthoDB Alignment masking with Aliscore Amino acid data partitioned by domains Nucleotide data modelled by sites Analyzed with RaxML light & ExaML Dates from partitioned BEAST Integration of Morphologists, Embryologists & Palaeontologists Results: 1478 Genes from OrthoDB were shared among all taxa Average coverage: 98% of genes recovered from new taxa Results shown at the right - > Same tree from both nucleotide and amino acid analyses More to come: ~1000 new insect transcriptomes completed * Bernhard Misof 1 Shanlin Liu 2,3, Karen Meusemann 1,4, Ralph S.

10 Tracheata (?): switch to terrestrial lifestyle in the Silurian (ca. 400 my) Tracheal system Malpighian tubules Spermatophores no aquatic larvae.

11 Arthropod phylogeny based on EST data Pancrustacea =Tetraconata Meusemann et al. 2010

12 Hexapoda + Remipedia? Brain anatomy (Fanenbruck et al. 2014)

13 Independent invasions of the terrestrial environment Remipedia ( 30 spp) in an evolutionary dead end street ) v. Reumont et al (also Misof et al. 2014)

14 Pancrustacea: independent invasion of terrestrial habitats by Hexapoda (1KITE: Ordovician, ca. 470 my ago) Terrestrial adapatations like the * tracheal system * Malpiphian tubules Sperm transfer via spermatophore Must have evolved independently (also in Arachnida) Even very plausible evolutionary scenario are only as good as the underlying phylogeny!!!

15 Devonohexapodus bocksbergiensis Haas et al. (2003)

16 Wingertshelicus backesi Kühl & Rust 2009

17 Monophyletic Hexapoda: 3 tagmata, head (6), thorax (3), abdomen (11) Division of labour in the postcepalic body

18 General rule: If a character has independently evolved in 2 non-related successful groups it has contributed to the diversification in both cases. Does not help in this case

19 Apterygote hexapods: 4 of 5 groups with a low species number

20 Pancrustacea (=Tetraconata) Additional apomorphies of Hexapoda: Tracheal system Malpighian tubules Sperm transfer with spermatophore No primary aquatic larva Relatively compact fat body Loss of nephridial organs Loss of midgut glands Loss of 2nd antenna..

21 Hennig (1969): Entognatha (and Ellipura)

22 Collembola: ca spp.! * Great variety of habitats: marine tide pools, hot springs, glaciers, tree canopies, caves, leave litter * Jumping mechanism * High reproductive rate (parthenogenesis)

23 Cercophora (Kukalová-Peck 1991) Diplura + Insecta (=Ectognatha), (Collembola + Protura) Cerci Paired claws Sperm axoneme pattern 9 + 9x2 + 2 No solution with morphology and transcriptomes

24 More molecular data: Entognatha or Cercophora??? 1KITE? still ambiguous

25 Insecta = Ectogntha * Ovipositor * Subdivision of the tarsus

26 Thysanura? silverfish (Zygentoma) rock crawlers (Archaeognatha)

27 Dicondylia * dicondylic mandible! Much broader variety of food, e.g., solid plant materials!

28 Pterygota, ca spp.! Ca. 99% of all spp. * Flight, 2 pairs of wings!!! - Flight mechanism - Access to 3-dimensional space Plant surfaces!!! - Dispersal

29 Passive flight in juvenile spiders using silk rafts (dipsersal) Passive flight and dispersal over long distances with silk rafts in spiders and spider mites

30 Carboniferous ca mya First great wave of diversification!

31 Copulation internal sperm transfer by an intromittent organ external transfer in apterygotes internal transfer with male pedipalps in spiders

32 Lock-and-key mechanism??? exact fit of genitalia

33 Sexual selection (Charles Darwin) cryptic female choice Modification of female and male genitalia: evolutionary arms race

34 Basal branching pattern in Pterygota? Hennig (1969): Palaeoptera (Odonata + Ephemeroptera)

35 Chiastomyaria: Ephemeroptera + Neoptera (Boudreaux 1979) Indirect flight musculature Direct fertilization with aedeagus Metapterygota: Odonata + Neoptera (Staniczek 2000) Modifications of the mandible, anterior ball-and-socket joint modified mandibular musculature Loss of the subimago

36 Palaeoptera Blanke et al. 2012a,b

37 Neoptera: folding back of wings Penetration of relatively narrow spaces possible!

38 Attachment structures: Arolium Friedemann, Schneeberg & Beutel 2014

39 Evolutionary arms race: plant surfaces insect attachment structures Aphids (Sternorrhyncha)

40 Neoptera - Polyneoptera - Paraneoptera (=Acercaria) - Holometabola Wheeler et al. 2001

41 Polyneoptera?

42 Kjer et al s rdna Dermaptera Plecoptera Orthoptera Grylloblattodea Mantophasmatodea Phasmatodea Embioptera Dictyoptera Acercaria Holometabola Polyneoptera Beutel & Gorb 2001 Morphologie Plecoptera Dictyoptera Phasmatodea Orthoptera Grylloblattodea Phasmatodea Embioptera Dermaptera Zoraptera Acercaria Holometabola Ishiwata et al DPD1, RPB1, RPB2 Dictyoptera Zoraptera Orthoptera Dermaptera Plecoptera Mantophasmatodea Grylloblattodea Embioptera Phasmatodea Acercaria Holometabola Misof et al s rdna Holometabola Dictyoptera Dermaptera Plecoptera Zoraptera Embioptera Orthoptera Phasmatodea Grylloblattodea Acercaria Dermaptera Yoshizawa 2011 Flügel Gelenk Phasmatodea Orthoptera Dermaptera Plecoptera Dictyoptera Embioptera Zoraptera Holometabola Acercaria Beutel & Gorb 2006 Morphologie Plecoptera Embioptera Phasmatodea Orthoptera Dictyoptera Grylloblattodea Mantophasmatodea Dermaptera Zoraptera Acercaria Holometabola

43 Kristensen s comb (1981, 1991) Polyneoptera (?): Kristensen s comb Grylloblattodea Dictyoptera Dermaptera Orthoptera Zoraptera Phasmatodea Embioptera Plecoptera Holometabola Acercaria

44 Zoraptera belong to monophyletic Polyneoptera! Embryological data: * Blastoderm formation by fusion of paired regions with higher cellular density * blastokinesis accompanied by full elongation of the embryo on the egg surface Mashimo et al. (2013)

45 Polyneoptera: diversity?

46 Compact thorax with strong musculature: precondition for the evolution of a flight apparatus

47 Wheeler et al. 2001

48 Cyrptocercus + Isoptera * Subsocial (groundplan) * wood-feeding habits * Specific endosymbiontic gut flagellelates * Morpological and molecular data (e.g., Klass 2003; Lo et al. 2000, 2003) Cyrptocercus Implies the non-monophyly of roaches in the traditional sense ( Blattaria )! Mastotermes

49 Polyneoptera monophyletic Zoraptera + Dermaptera basal Misof et al. 2014

55 Hemiptera: ca spp.! (ca. 80% of Paraneoptera) Pentatomorpha: phytophagous

56 Cicada, ca spp., evolutionary parallels to Orthoptera Jumping capacity Accoustic communication systems close association with plants

57 Great diversification of Hemiptera started in the Cretaceous, linked with the diversification of angiosperm plants Archaefructus Great variety of attachment structure (Friedemann et al. 2014)

58 K. Friedemann, PhD project, Friedemann et al. 2015

64 Holometabola complete metamorphosis Pupa: evolutionary costs Reduced intraspecific competition: evolutionary benefits

65 Endopterygotism Evolutionary benefits: ability to penetrate very narrow crevices or plant tissues including wood

66 356 morphological characters, Beutel et al. in 2011 Megadiversification 4 times independently: BIG4

67 Excellent flight capacity with functional or anatomical dipterism!!! Peltosynidae, Yan et al Strong mechanical protection!

68 Parasitism in Hymenoptera: ca known species Large hidden diversity

69 Co-evolution angiosperms insects!!! Lepidoptera (Moths and butterflies), ca species
