  1. 1How did incomplete metamorphosis evolve?
    Probably from [blank_start]pronymph[blank_end] stage via [blank_start]protolarvae[blank_end]
    1. Apronymph
    2. Bprotolarvae
  2. 2Convergent features in insects
    Mouthparts: [blank_start]proboscis[blank_end] in [blank_start]hymenoptera[blank_end], [blank_start]diptera[blank_end], lepidoptera and [blank_start]coleoptera[blank_end]
    [blank_start]Silk[blank_end]: [blank_start]silk moths[blank_end], [blank_start]larval caddis[blank_end] flies, [blank_start]weaver[blank_end] ant
    [blank_start]Slave-making[blank_end] in ants
    [blank_start]Prolegs[blank_end] on [blank_start]larvae[blank_end] of many orders
    [blank_start]Bioluminescence[blank_end]
    Appearance - [blank_start]Batesian[blank_end] and [blank_start]Mullerian[blank_end] mimicry
    1. Aproboscis
    2. Bhymenoptera
    3. Cdiptera
    4. Dcoleoptera
    5. ESilk
    6. Fsilk moths
    7. Glarval caddis
    8. Hweaver
    9. ISlave-making
    10. JProlegs
    11. Klarvae
    12. LBioluminescence
    13. MBatesian
    14. NMullerian
  3. 3Why are holometabolous insects more diverse?
    [blank_start]larvae[blank_end] and [blank_start]adults[blank_end] have [blank_start]different niches[blank_end]
    1. Alarvae
    2. Badults
    3. Cdifferent niches
  4. 4Origin of insects: related to [blank_start]branchiopods[blank_end]. Evidence for this: [blank_start]fossils[blank_end], nervous, [blank_start]visual[blank_end] and [blank_start]segmentation[blank_end] similar. Some evidence against but still supported.
    1. Abranchiopods
    2. Bfossils
    3. Cvisual
    4. Dsegmentation
  5. 5Ephemoptera: most [blank_start]basal winged[blank_end]. Adults don't [blank_start]feed[blank_end] and [blank_start]die[blank_end] after few days.
    Odonata: [blank_start]predatory[blank_end], adults [blank_start]visual[blank_end] predators.
    Orthoptera: [blank_start]jumpers[blank_end], [blank_start]sound[blank_end] production.
    Phasmatodea: [blank_start]mimics[blank_end], [blank_start]nocturnal[blank_end].
    1. Abasal winged
    2. Bfeed
    3. Cdie
    4. Dpredatory
    5. Evisual
    6. Fjumpers
    7. Gsound
    8. Hmimics
    9. Inocturnal
  6. 6Ecosystem services:
    [blank_start]Nutrient[blank_end]-[blank_start]cycling[blank_end]
    plant [blank_start]propagation[blank_end]
    maintenence of plant and animal [blank_start]communities[blank_end]
    are [blank_start]food[blank_end] for many animals
    1. ANutrient
    2. Bcycling
    3. Cpropagation
    4. Dcommunities
    5. Efood
  7. 7Thysanoptera: small, [blank_start]hemi[blank_end]metabolous, [blank_start]pests[blank_end]
    Lepidoptera: [blank_start]holo[blank_end]metabolous, unique features: [blank_start]epiphysis, scales, proboscis[blank_end]
    Hemiptera: all [blank_start]suck fluids[blank_end], hemimetabolous
    1. Ahemi
    2. Bpests
    3. Cholo
    4. Depiphysis, scales, proboscis
    5. Esuck fluids
  8. 8Reasons for flightlessness:
    [blank_start]Dispersal[blank_end] not necessary
    [blank_start]Mortality[blank_end] higher in fliers because of [blank_start]isolation[blank_end] or high [blank_start]energy[blank_end] costs
    wingless females can put more energy into [blank_start]eggs[blank_end]: [blank_start]ovary[blank_end] and wings same gene
    1. ADispersal
    2. BMortality
    3. Cisolation
    4. Denergy
    5. Eeggs
    6. Fovary
  9. 9Coleoptera: [blank_start]holo[blank_end]metabolous, [blank_start]mandibulate[blank_end] mouthparts
    Diptera: [blank_start]single[blank_end] pair wings, [blank_start]halteres[blank_end], [blank_start]hoverflies[blank_end] - mimicry.
    Hymenoptera: 2 pairs wings. Can be [blank_start]parasites, predators, or plant-eaters.[blank_end]
    1. Aholo
    2. Bmandibulate
    3. Csingle
    4. Dhalteres
    5. Ehoverflies
    6. Fparasites, predators, or plant-eaters.
  10. 10Eusociality: Hymenoptera - probably [blank_start]kin-selection[blank_end]. Termites - probably [blank_start]symbiosis[blank_end]. Preconditions: [blank_start]altricial[blank_end] offspring, low [blank_start]reproductive[blank_end] success in [blank_start]solitary[blank_end] pairs.
    1. Akin-selection
    2. Bsymbiosis
    3. Caltricial
    4. Dreproductive
    5. Esolitary
