Untangling the evolution of soldier beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) and the evaluation of the morphological phylogenetic signal in a soft‐bodied elateroid lineage
This study addresses the long‐standing uncertainty about the internal classification of
soldier beetles (Elateroidea: Cantharidae). Four datasets were compiled and analysed: 66 …

Sexually dimorphic characters and shared aposematic patterns mislead the morphology-based classification of the Lycini (Coleoptera: Lycidae)
Abstract The Lycini (Elateroidea: Lycidae) contains> 400 species placed in four typologically
