- Abstract
The article discusses the adaptive evolution of raptorial forelegs in insects, specifically focusing on the mantispid family. The study combines phylogeny, morphometrics, and mechanical modeling to analyze the multidimensional specializations of predation and their impact on lineage diversification. The researchers found that the evolution of raptorial forelegs stimulated lineage diversification at different rates and was influenced by the ecosystem of corresponding periods. The functional and behavioral adaptations of the forelegs were also examined, revealing different strategies for capturing and attacking prey. The study also explores the evolutionary history of mantispids and their correlation with global temperature changes.
