    During beetle metamorphosis, abdominal muscles undergo significant spatial rearrangement through two distinct mechanisms: epidermokinesis and myokinesis. This study details these muscle movements and their attachment site changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Biology
    • Insect Morphology
    • Evolutionary Biology

    Background:

    • Metamorphosis involves extensive tissue remodeling in insects.
    • The abdominal sternites and associated muscles of Tenebrio molitor undergo significant changes during metamorphosis.
    • Understanding these changes is crucial for investigating morphogenetic mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the spatial rearrangements of abdominal sternites and retractor muscles during Tenebrio molitor metamorphosis.
    • To provide background for evaluating the role of a morphogenetic gradient in adult muscle attachment site specification.
    • To analyze the mechanisms driving muscle rearrangement during prepupal and pupal stages.

    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive analysis of spatial rearrangements in abdominal sternites and retractor muscles.

  • Observation of muscle and epidermal changes during the prepupal and pupal stages.
  • Consideration of Poyarkoff's integumental mould theory.

    • Main Results:

    • Ventral abdominal retractor muscles are extensively remodeled, differing significantly from larval muscles.
    • Muscle attachment sites change in both absolute and relative positions.
    • Muscle rearrangement occurs via two distinct mechanisms: epidermokinetic muscle movement (prepupal) and myokinetic muscle movement (pupal).

    Conclusions:

    • The pupa acts as an integumental mould, shaping adult muscle development.
    • Epidermal remodeling drives muscle movement in the prepupal stage.
    • Myokinetic movement, potentially involving myoblast processes, occurs in the pupal stage, contributing to adult muscle positioning.
