WHAT DO THE WINGS ON INSECTS TELL US?๐ŸฆŸ / QUE NOS DICEN LAS ALAS EN LOS INSECTOS?๐Ÿฆ—

The topic of the evolution of insect wings is a topic that to this day keeps entomologist biologists busy! There is no correct theory if not a set of hypotheses that are more creditable than others! In a past post I explained that insects are arthropods and are one of the most abundant groups on the planet! but many are unaware that these animals have a fascinating evolutionary history!๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽ“

El tema de la evolucion de las alas de los insectos es un topico que hasta el dia de hoy mantiene a los Biologos entomologos ocupados! no existe una teoria correcta si no un conjunto de hipotesis que son mas acreditables que otros! En post pasado explicaba que los insectos son artropodos y son uno de los grupos mas abuntantes del planeta! pero muchos ignoran que estos animales tienen una historia evolutiva fascinante!๐ŸฆŸ๐Ÿฆ—๐Ÿœ

There is a group of marine biologists (MBL) who demonstrated that insects could evolve through an excretion that expelled some crustaceans through their legs, and that they managed to get incorporated into the wall of the animal's body! amazing, right?๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
Existe un grupo de Biologos marinos (MBL) que demostraron que los insectos pudieron evolucionar por medio de una excrecion que expulsaron por sus patas algun crustaceos, y que logro incorporarse a la pared del cuerpo del animal! increible no? ๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿคฏ

Many theories have emerged of how the wings of insects evolved, but the most successful is the one proposed by the (MBL) and for this they have used many scientific articles from years ago as a study guide, in addition to using genetic laboratory techniques to make comparisons and homologies!๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
Han surgido muchas teorias de como evolucionaron las alas de los insectos pero la mas acertada es la propuesta por el (MBL) y para ello han utilizado como guia de estudios muchos articulos cientificos de aรฑos atras ademas de usar tecnicas de laboratorio geneticas para realizar comparaciones y homologias!๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“

We must go back millions of years to see how an ancient crustacean took a great evolutionary leap secreting a "lobe" from its leg! this to make a water-land leap, scientists average that this happened more than 300 million years ago! What happened is that the closest segments of the legs were incorporated into the body wall in the embryonic phase!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
Debemos retrocedor millones de aรฑos atras para ver como un crustaceo ancestral dio un gran salto evolutivo secretando un "lobulo" de su pata! esto para dar un salto agua-tierra, los cientificos promedian que esto ocurrio hace mas de 300millones de aรฑos! lo ocurrio es que los segmentos mas cercanos de las patas se incorporaron a la pared del cuerpo en la fase embrionaria! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ

Later, after the embryonic phase, the "lobes" of the legs moved from the lateral areas of the body towards the back of the animal, originating the wings! And why had this theory never been deduced? As the specialist BRUCE expresses: "only until 2010, were crustaceans related to insects"๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚
Posteriormente luego de la fase embrionaria los "lobulos" de las patas se desplazaron de las zonas laterales del cuerpo hacia la espalda del animal originando las alas! y por que nunca se habia deducido esta teoria?? Como expresa el especialista BRUCE: "solo hasta el 2010, se relacionaban los crustaceos con los insectos"๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Before 2010, scientists classified insects in the group of "myriapods", that is, together with centipedes! The most curious thing is that when you look for scientific references on the evolution of wings, do you know what you get? absolutely nothing!!! there was no strong theory about the evolution of wings! And how are you in times where science has advanced so much that the most important thing for the current scientist is to maintain a good reputation ... NOBODY WANTED TO RISK IN WRITING IN THE BOOKS ANY THEORY THAT WAS WRONG!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
Antes de 2010 los cientificos clasificaban a los insectos en el grupo de los "miriapodos" osea juntos con los cienpies! lo mas curioso es que cuando buscas referencias cientificas sobre la evolucion de las alas sabes que consigues? absolutamente NADA!!! no se tenia una teoria fuerte sobre la evolucion de las alas! y como estas en tiempos donde la ciencia ha avanzado tanto que lo mas importante para el cientifico actual es mantener una buena reputacion... NADIE QUERIA ARRIESGAR EN ESCRIBIR EN LOS LIBROS ALGUNA TEORIA QUE ESTUVIERA ERRADA!๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜„

And what happened decades later is that researchers thought that insect wings did not have an "ancestor" and that it was an evolutionary novelty! for insects to take that great evolutionary leap and to be able to colonize the planet!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
Y lo que sucedio decadas despues es que los investigadores pensaron que las alas en los insectos no tenian un "ancestro" y que era una novedad evolutiva! para los insectos dar ese gran salto evolutivo y poder lograr colonizar el planeta!๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

The genomic study helps to solve these mysteries because everything on the planet has a common ancestor! evolved from an ancestor who decided to make physiological and morphological changes to perpetuate his existence for thousands of years! and it is clear how the insects passed from the sea to the land and the wings were the main resource to colonize many parts of the world! EVERYTHING HAS AN ANCESTOR!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
El estudio genomico ayuda a resolver estos misterios porque es que todo en el planeta tiene un ancestro comun! evoluciono de un antepasado que decidio realizar cambio fisiologicos y morfologicos para conseguir perpetuar su existencia miles de aรฑos mas! y es claro como los insectos pasaron del mar a la tierra y las alas fue el principal recurso para colonizar muchos lugares del mundo! TODO TIENE UN ANCESTRO!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Scientist Bruce used comparisons of some arthropods like (Parhyale) and segmented legs of other insects including the famous fruit fly! and through the editing of CRISPR-Cas9 genes, I achieve kinship with the body of crustaceans, solving a mystery and creating an acceptable theory in the scientific field!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Bruce got a small problem to solve and that is that he detected with the genomic tests that there was a segment in the seventh leg that merged with the body! Reading old entomologist references from 1890 and 1980 turned out to get your answer as not only did the leg segments join the body but they also moved!๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
Bruce consiguio un pequeรฑo problema para resolver y es que detecto con las pruebas genomicas que habia un segmento en la septima pata que se fusiono con el cuerpo! leyendo referencias antiguas de entomologos de 1890 y 1980 resulto conseguir su respuesta ya que no solo los segmentos de las patas se unieron al cuerpo si no tambien se desplazaban!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

If we start from the beginning that insects evolved with these accessories to colonize and disperse many types of habitats then we must assume that they also present different adaptations and it is true! there are many types of wings! the first recorded insect with wings is Delitzchala bitterfeldensis and was over 50 million years old!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
Si partimos desde el principio que los insectos evolucionaron con estos acceserios para colonizar, y dispersar muchos tipos de habitat entonces debemos suponer que tambien presentan adaptaciones diferentes y es cierto! existen muchos tipos de alas! el primero insecto registrado con alas es Delitzchala bitterfeldensis y tuvo mas de 50millones de aรฑo! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

I did a little research comparing the wings of 2 insects and as you can see the wings of the grasshopper are structurally different from the wings of the dragonfly! but ... don't they perform the same function? Yes ... Both insects use their wings to move but the dragonfly has more developed wings since it is used for flight, reproduction, food! The grasshopper spends more time on the ground than in the air, and its underdeveloped wing is used to escape from incredible predators, right?๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ˜ถ
Hice una pequeรฑa investigacion comparando alas de 2 insectos y como puedes ver las alas del saltamontes es diferentes estructuralmente a las alas de la libelula! pero ... No realizan la misma funcion? si... Ambos insectos usan las alas para desplazarse pero la libelula tiene unas alas mas desarrolladas ya que es usada para vuelo, reproduccion, alimentacion! el saltamontes pasa mas tiempo en tierra que en el aire, y su ala poco desarrollada es empleada para escapar de depredadores increible no?๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
