About this document
Insect Evolution Insights by Meusemann by Bruno Clarkson is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The article discusses a phylogenomic study that resolves the timing and patterns of insect evolution using 1478 protein-coding genes. It dates the origin of insects to the Early Ordovician, the emergence of insect flight to the Early Devonian, and the diversification of major lineages to the Mississippian and Early Cretaceous periods. This research provides a reliable framework for future evolutionary analyses among insects.
