26 lis 2018 · We assemble a comprehensive dataset of insect wings and analyze their morphology using topological and geometric notions in terms of i) wing size and contour shape, ii) vein geometry and...
wing. Flight in these insects is accomplished by altering the shape of the dorsal surface of the tergum to which the wings are attached. When the tergal surface is buckled or arched, the wings are forced downward; when the tergum is depressed, the wings rise upward. The dorsal longitudinal muscles, extending

1 kwi 2021 · Morphological characteristics of the prototype wing pattern can be used in lepidopteran population studies as markers of population groups and interpopulation boundaries.
Wings are evaginations of the tergum or thoracic notum. Embryonically, each wing consists of two layers of cuticle surrounding and lined interiorly by a cellular epidermis (dermal cells).
based primarily on wing venation, genitalia, larval characters, fossils, internal morphology, and antennal characters. We are now ready to start going through the families of Coleoptera.
morphological homology of the wing. It is in this context that the rise of evolutionary devel-opmental biology offers one of the greatest opportunities to elucidate the homology of insect wings and, in turn, will permit a well-founded account of flight origins. Wings arose once in insects, that is, the Pterygota are monophyletic and supported as
