Paurometabola. Polyneopterata. Plecopterodea. The cohort Polyneoptera is one of the major groups of winged insects, comprising the Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets, etc.) and all other neopteran insects believed to be more closely related to Orthoptera than to any other insect orders.
Jan 14, 2019 · The evolutionary history of Polyneoptera is considered one of the major unresolved subjects in insect evolution and not only affects our knowledge on Polyneoptera itself, but also has broad implications for our understanding of the early evolution of the winged insects. A major unresolved question related to this is whether winged insects ...

Endopterygota. PolyneopteraWinged insects, with a broad, fan-like extension to their hind wings, and incomplete metamorphosis. The higher groups of winged insects, the Neoptera, have the ability to flex their wings so that they can be folded flat over the body. The evolutionary advantage of this was probably to protect the wings from damage ...
Feb 19, 2019 · Polyneoptera represents one of the major lineages of winged insects, comprising around 40,000 extant species in 10 traditional orders, including grasshoppers, roaches, and stoneflies. Many important aspects of polyneopteran evolution, such as their phylogenetic relationships, changes in their external appearance, their habitat preferences, and ...

Neoptera ( Ancient Greek néos ("new") + pterón ("wing")) is a classification group that includes most orders of the winged insects, specifically those that can flex their wings over their abdomens. This is in contrast with the more basal orders of winged insects (the "Palaeoptera" assemblage), which are unable to flex their wings in this way.
Feb 2, 2019 · Polyneoptera is the only major lineage of winged insects (Pterygota) with an unresolved evolutionary history concerning important phenotypic traits like external shape, social behavior, and lifestyle. These ambiguities have far-reaching consequences for our understanding of the early evolution of winged insects.
