The findings are compared with conditions found in other phasmatodeans and members of other neopteran lineages. The compiled 125 characters were analysed cladistically. A clade Eukinolabia (Phasmatodea + Embioptera) was confirmed. Synapomorphies of these two taxa are the shift of the origin of M. tentorioparaglossalis to the hind margin of the prementum, the presence of M. tentorioscapalis medialis, and antennal muscles that originate exclusively on the anterior tentorial arms. Within Eukinolabia, the position of Timema remains somewhat ambiguous because of missing anatomical data. However, it was confirmed as sister group of Euphasmatodea in a monophyletic Phasmatodea. Apomorphic groundplan features of Euphasmatodea are salivary ducts with separate external openings, apically rounded glossae, the presence of the galealobulus, and the reduction of the antennifer. The monophyly of Neophasmatidae was confirmed. Autapomorphies are the loss ofM. frontobuccalis posterior, the anteriorly or dorsally directed maxillary palps, and the reduction of the mandibular incisivi. The analysis of characters of the head yielded three new autapomorphies of Phylliinae, the presence of a protuberance on the attachment site of the dorsal tentorial arms, dorsoventrally flattened maxillary-and labial palps, and possibly the narrow and U-shaped field of trichomes on the apical part of the galea."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1463-6395.2010.00497.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000301484700005"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/26785"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1463-6395"],["dc.relation.issn","0001-7272"],["dc.title","On the head morphology of Phyllium and the phylogenetic relationships of Phasmatodea (Insecta)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Understanding their origin and evolution requires knowledge about the phylogenetic relationships from both source and recipient organisms. We used RNASeq data and respective assembled transcript libraries to trace the evolutionary history of polygalacturonase (pectinase) genes in stick insects (Phasmatodea). By mapping the distribution of pectinase genes on a Polyneoptera phylogeny, we identified the transfer of pectinase genes from known phasmatodean gut microbes into the genome of an early euphasmatodean ancestor that took place between 60 and 100 million years ago. This transfer preceded the rapid diversification of the suborder, enabling symbiont-free pectinase production that would increase the insects' digestive efficiency and reduce dependence on microbes. Bacteria-to-insect gene transfer was thought to be uncommon, however the increasing availability of large-scale genomic data may change this prevailing notion."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/srep26388"],["dc.identifier.isi","000376236700001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27210832"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13359"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/40572"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Nature Publishing Group"],["dc.relation.issn","2045-2322"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Horizontal Gene Transfer of Pectinases from Bacteria Preceded the Diversification of Stick and Leaf Insects"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

New research suggests that the extant diversity is the result of a surprisingly recent and rapid radiation that has been difficult to resolve with standard Sanger sequence data. In order to resolve the early branching events of stick and leaf insects, we analyzed transcriptomes from 61 species, including 38 Phasmatodea species comprising all major clades and 23 outgroup taxa, including all other Polyneoptera orders. Using a custom-made ortholog set based on reference genomes from four species, we identified on average 2,274 orthologous genes in the sequenced transcriptomes. We generated various sub-alignments and performed maximum-likelihood analyses on several representative datasets to evaluate the effect of missing data and matrix composition on our phylogenetic estimates. Based on our new data, we are able to reliably resolve the deeper nodes between the principal lineages of extant Phasmatodea. Among Euphasmatodea, we provide strong evidence for a basal dichotomy of Aschiphasmatodea and all remaining euphasmatodeans, the Neophasmatodea. Within the latter clade, we recovered a previously unrecognized major New World and Old World lineage, for which we introduce the new names Oriophasmata tax. nov. (“Eastern phasmids”) and Occidophasmata tax. nov. (“Western phasmids”). Occidophasmata comprise Diapheromerinae, Pseudophasmatinae, and Agathemera, whereas all remaining lineages form the Oriophasmata, including Heteropterygidae, Phylliinae, Bacillus, Lonchodidae (Necrosciinae + Lonchodinae), Clitumninae, Cladomorphinae, and Lanceocercata. We furthermore performed a divergence time analysis and reconstructed the historical biogeography for stick and leaf insects. Phasmatodea either originated in Southeast Asia or in the New World. Our results suggest that the extant distribution of Phasmatodea is largely the result of dispersal events in a recently and rapidly diversified insect lineage rather than the result of vicariant processes."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fevo.2019.00345"],["dc.identifier.eissn","2296-701X"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16556"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/78429"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.publisher","Frontiers Media S.A."],["dc.relation.eissn","2296-701X"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Old World and New World Phasmatodea: Phylogenomics Resolve the Evolutionary History of Stick and Leaf Insects"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The present study provides a detailed comparative investigation of the skeletal and muscular thoracic morphology of 23 orthopteran species. For the first time, we investigate unstudied ensiferan key taxa including Gryllacrididae (raspy crickets), Stenopelmatidae (Jerusalem crickets), and Prophangalopsidae (hump-winged crickets). We identify novel thoracic characters that might represent apomorphies of Orthoptera: the connection of propleura and prosternum as pleurosternal bridge, the pterothoracic furcae that enclose the respective pleural arm from the ventral side, the mesofurca and mesospina that are situated in a single line along the sternacosta, and a stalked mesospina with a delimited dorsal plate. In particular, the morphology of the sternal apophyses turned out to show major differences between the two major subgroups of Orthoptera: Caelifera (short-horned grasshoppers) and Ensifera (long-horned grasshoppers). For example, the profurca bears a single arm in Caelifera and is branched in the majority of Ensifera. A number of thoracic muscles, like the Musculus mesofurca-propleuralis (IIspm9), could be identified and defined for Orthoptera, muscles that have never been described before to be present in other neopteran insects. Additionally, the obtained data set is used to reconstruct the orthopteran ground pattern of the thoracic skeletomuscular complex. Moreover, all characters potentially containing phylogenetic information are discussed and compiled in a morphological character matrix in order to be accessible for future phylogenetic studies."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/isd/ixx006"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/57679"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.title","Comparative Morphology of the Orthopteran Thorax With a Discussion of Phylogenetically Relevant Characters"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
