This article derives from a society-wide symposium organized by Timothy Bradley and Adriana Briscoe and presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology in Boston, Massachusetts. David Grimaldi provided the opening presentation in which he outlined the major evolutionary events in the formation and subsequent diversification of the insect clade. This presentation was followed by speakers who detailed the evolutionary history of specific physiological and/or behavioral traits that have caused insects to be both ecologically successful and fascinating as subjects for biological study. These include a review of the evolutionary history of the insects, the origins of flight, osmoregulation, the evolution of tracheal systems, the evolution of color vision, circadian clocks, and the evolution of eusociality. These topics, as covered by the speakers, provide an overview of the pattern and timing of evolutionary diversification and specialization in the group of animals we know as insects.
本文源自 Timothy Bradley 和 Adriana Briscoe 组织的一次全行业研讨会，并在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的 2009 年综合比较生物学学会年会上进行了展示。David Grimaldi 做了开幕演讲，概述了昆虫类群形成和随后多样化过程中的主要进化事件。随后，发言者详细介绍了导致昆虫在生态上取得成功并成为生物学研究有趣主题的特定生理和/或行为特征的进化历史。其中包括对昆虫进化历史、飞行起源、渗透调节、气管系统进化、颜色视觉进化、昼夜节律钟以及真社会性进化的综述。这些主题由演讲者涵盖，提供了我们所熟知的昆虫类动物群体中进化多样化和特化的模式和时间的概述。
