Which arthropod group is the most diversified animal group
Which arthropod group is the most diversified animal group of the planet? How can this evolutionary achievement be described?
Expert
Insects are the animal group with most variety of species. Nearly 750000 insect species are recognized, around 55 percent of the total already cataloged species of living-beings (as compare with mammals, with no more than 4000 recognized species). It is evaluated however that the number of unknown species of insects might be over 2 million. The insect population on the planet is predicted to be more than 10 quintillion (1000000000000000000) individuals.The huge evolutionary success of insects is due to factors like: small size and alimentary diversity, forming possible the exploration of numerous distinct ecological niches; wings which give more geographic spread; the tracheal respiration which gave them motor agility; high reproductive rates with production of big numbers of descendants.
