These eggs are usually dropped and will hatch over time. However some insects can hold the eggs inside of their body if it is too dangerous and their offspring will hatch while inside them, giving the appearance of a live birth. ]]> 2018-06-04 00:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265259492 Type of Evolution ej265 https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265260469 DIvergent:

There are billions of different types ofinsects, so naturally diveregent evolution will appear. An example of divergent evolution in inscects is their exoskeleton. Some insects have evolved over time to form harder shells more resistent to prey, while some sacrifice harder shells for manuverability. Insects have developed thei exoskeletons in order to suit the enviorments they live in. ]]> 2018-06-04 00:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265260469 Anatomy of a Cricket ej265 https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265261489 2018-06-04 00:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265261489 Exemplary Example 2: Cockroach ej265 https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265261578 Location found and habitat information

Many different insects have developed this trait in order to combat the poison and maintain their food source. ]]> 2018-06-04 02:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265272582 Taxonomy Showing Relatedness ej265 https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265274232 Taxonomy can show relatedness because it allows the viewer to see how closely a species physiolofy is to another species and their common ancestor. ]]> 2018-06-04 02:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265274232 Geographic Isolation ej265 https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265275808 Geographic isolation is apparent in Insects because it is very easy for them to become separated. For instance the cockroach (most popular) became isolated through transportation. They infest cargo ships which bring them across continents. The German Cockroach is a species that is most common for their traditional brown color. ]]> 2018-06-04 02:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265275808 Artificial Selection in Insects ej265 https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265277083 There are still many things unknown about insects, so humans must do tests on them. In laboratories humans have started breeding different insects together in order to study the inner campuses that insects have, as well as their flying patterns. By controlling their breeding it allows insects to be further studied. ]]> 2018-06-04 02:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265277083 Darwin Theory of Evolution ej265 https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265289659 Throughout the history of the earth insects have evolved in order to be better suited for their environment. An example of this is their size. Over time the body of the insect has decreased, and they have changed their appearance. This is needed for the insects to escape from predators and live longer to reproduce.  This is an example of decent with modification. The type of natural selection within insects is stabilizing. This is because there are so many species of insects all over the globe. This is why insects are stabilizing evolutionally. ]]> 2018-06-04 05:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265289659 Bibliography ej265 https://padlet.com/ej265/Insects/wish/265290561 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_insects
