Taxonomic and carbon metabolic diversification of Bathyarchaeia during its coevolution history with early Earth surface environment

Science Advances, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(27)

Published: July 5, 2023

Bathyarchaeia, as one of the most abundant microorganisms on Earth, play vital roles in global carbon cycle. However, our understanding their origin, evolution, and ecological functions remains poorly constrained. Here, we present largest dataset Bathyarchaeia metagenome assembled genome to date reclassify into eight order-level units corresponding former subgroup system. Highly diversified versatile metabolisms were found among different orders, particularly atypical C1 metabolic pathways, indicating that represent overlooked important methylotrophs. Molecular dating results indicate diverged at ~3.3 billion years, followed by three major diversifications ~3.0, ~2.5, ~1.8 1.7 likely driven continental emergence, growth, intensive submarine volcanism, respectively. The lignin-degrading clade emerged ~300 million years perhaps contributed sharply decreased sequestration rate during Late Carboniferous period. evolutionary history potentially has been shaped geological forces, which, turn, affected Earth's surface environment.

Early evolution of beetles regulated by the end-Permian deforestation

eLife, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10

Published: Nov. 8, 2021

The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) led to a severe terrestrial ecosystem collapse. However, the ecological response of insects—the most diverse group organisms on Earth—to EPME remains poorly understood. Here, we analyse beetle evolutionary history based taxonomic diversity, morphological disparity, phylogeny, and shifts from Early Permian Middle Triassic, using comprehensive new dataset. beetles were dominated by xylophagous stem groups with high diversity which probably played an underappreciated role in carbon cycle. Our suite analyses shows that suffered during largely due collapse forest ecosystems, resulting Triassic gap beetles. New appeared widely early is consistent restoration ecosystems. results highlight significance insects deep-time

Diversity, Form, and Postembryonic Development of Paleozoic Insects

Annual Review of Entomology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 68(1), P. 401 - 429

Published: Jan. 23, 2023

While Mesozoic, Paleogene, and Neogene insect faunas greatly resemble the modern one, Paleozoic fauna provides unique insights into key innovations in evolution, such as origin of wings modifications postembryonic development including holometaboly. Deep-divergence estimates suggest that majority contemporary orders originated Late Paleozoic, but these reflect divergences between stem groups each lineage rather than later appearance crown groups. The fossil record shows initial radiations extant hyperdiverse clades during Early Permian, well specialized present before End Permian mass extinction. This review summarizes recent discoveries related to documented diversity hexapods, current knowledge about what has actually been verified from evidence it relates morphology different body parts.

Multiple drivers and lineage-specific insect extinctions during the Permo–Triassic

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13(1)

Published: Dec. 6, 2022

The Permo-Triassic interval encompasses three extinction events including the most dramatic biological crisis of Phanerozoic, latest Permian mass extinction. However, their drivers and outcomes are poorly quantified understood for terrestrial invertebrates, which we assess here insects. We find a pattern with extinctions: Roadian/Wordian (≈266.9 Ma; 64.5% insect genera), Permian/Triassic (≈252 82.6% Ladinian/Carnian boundaries (≈237 74.8% genera). also unveil heterogeneous effect these across major clades.

Phylogenomics resolves the relationships among Hydrophiloidea‐Histeroidea families (Coleoptera) and challenges the single colonization of aquatic habitats

Systematic Entomology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 23, 2025

Abstract Beetle superfamilies Histeroidea and Hydrophiloidea form a well‐supported monophylum with c. 9000 described species, but the relationships among families remain unresolved, hindering studies of early evolution group. This study presents first genomic data for all modern families, including genomes Synteliidae, Sphaeritidae, Georissidae Epimetopidae. Using datasets 4215, 1100 709 protein‐coding genes, we reconstructed reconfirmed Early Triassic split Histeroidea, revealed to Middle Jurassic origin families. All analytical methods same topology Hydrophiloidea. The superfamily consists two main clades: helophorid lineage (Georissidae + Helophoridae Hydrochidae) hydrophilid (Epimetopidae Spercheidae Hydrophilidae), Hydrochidae Hydrophilidae as strongly supported clades; riparian Epimetopidae branching clades in each lineage. In detected significant conflict phylogenetic signal, indicating more complex dynamic molecular than Hydrophiloidea: our analyses reject Synteliidae sister Histeridae are not decisive on whether Sphaeritidae or other Histeroidea. reconstruction habitat preferences indicated that ancestral inhabited moist substrates at sides lakes rivers were aquatic. Aquatic habitats colonized twice independently: once by an ancestor Hydrophilidae. We discuss evidence against this novel Riparian Ancestor Hypothesis detail.

Plant interactions with arthropods and pathogens at Sanzenbacher Ranch, early Permian of Texas, and implications for herbivory evolution in Southwestern Euramerica

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: March 12, 2024

Introduction The Sanzenbacher Ranch deposit represents an early Permian plant assemblage in north-central Texas predominantly composed of pteridosperms, which callipterids are dominant. This study investigates the interactions a taxonomically broad range hosts with insects, mites, and pathogens to assess richness frequency damage. Methods We used standard methods functional feeding group--damage type system analyses graphically illustrated as nonmetric multidimensional scaling. Results Of total surface area represented, we quantified fraction herbivorized, providing comparative perspective regard several similar studies herbivory at nearby assemblages from late Paleozoic. To insect herbivory, 1,361 specimens were analyzed, including fronds, leaves, reproductive structures, axes, wood impressions. A 205 presented one or more instances (11.17%). Callipterid-peltasperms exhibited highest number interactions, Autunia conferta , Rhachiphyllum schenkii cf. Lodevia sp., Comia unidentified callipterid accounting for 49.34% all interactions. Medullosans represented 10.53%, followed by lyginopterids 8.55%. Forty-eight damage types (DTs) recognized classified into nine groups hole feeding, margin piercing sucking, oviposition, galling, seed predation, borings, pathogens. Discussion When compared analogous Paleozoic Texas, almost herbivore groups, high DTs, low index 0.26. record shows diversity seasonally dry environment that supports trend increase DT southwestern Euramerica. Ranch, different other assemblages, sheds light on dynamic ecological these ancient ecosystems.
