| Research Abstract |
For the "origin of the insect wings" and "acquisition of the wings", I have conducted comparative embryological research, and also genetic developmental research, focusing on the mayflies, which is a group of the most basal lineages within the pterygotans(wing acquired insects). I have suggested that the homology embryologically between appendages, gills and wing primordial, and also observed the genetic regulation pattern of the formation of appendages, gills, and wings. I have integrated these results, I proposed the newly idea of their own the origin of the insects wings.
