Abstract in brief

  • Insect metamorphosis is a highly successful adaptation, but scientists are still unsure how it evolved, with some ancestral species not undergoing complete metamorphosis.
  • The proposed hypothesis suggests that changes in hormonal regulation during development led to the evolution of metamorphosis, with early insect stages (pronymph, nymph, adult) evolving into the larva, pupa, and adult stages of modern insects.
  • This idea has broad implications for understanding insect development, linking the developmental stages of ancestral species to those seen in insects with complete metamorphosis today.]
