Loss and recovery of wings in stick insects
- Michael F. Whiting, Sven Bradler, T. Maxwell
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 16 January 2003
The evolution of wings was the central adaptation allowing insects to escape predators, exploit scattered resources, and disperse into new niches, resulting in radiations into vast numbers of… Expand

The Lanceocercata are a clade of stick insects (Phasmatodea) that have undergone an impressive evolutionary radiation in Australia, New Caledonia, the Mascarene Islands and areas of the Pacific.… Expand
A molecular phylogeny of Phasmatodea with emphasis on Necrosciinae, the most species‐rich subfamily of stick insects
- Sven Bradler, J. A. Robertson, M. Whiting
- Biology
- 1 April 2014
The phasmatodeans or stick and leaf insects are considered to be a mesodiverse insect order with more than 3000 species reported mainly from the tropics. The stick insect subfamily Necrosciinae… Expand
Single origin of the Mascarene stick insects: ancient radiation on sunken islands?

- Medicine, Biology
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 9 January 2007
Stick and leaf insects (insect order Phasmatodea) are represented primarily by twig-imitating slender forms. Only a small percentage (≈1%) of extant phasmids belong to the leaf insects (Phylliinae),… Expand
Extreme convergence in egg-laying strategy across insect orders
