Studies of insect assemblages are suited to the simultaneous DNA‐based identification of
multiple taxa known as metabarcoding. To obtain accurate estimates of diversity …

 Abstract Large carrion beetles (Silphidae) are the focus of ongoing behavioral ecology,

Orthoptera have been used for decades for numerous evolutionary questions but several of
its constituent groups, notably crickets, still suffer from a lack of a robust phylogenetic …

True flies are insects of the order Diptera and encompass one of the most diverse groups of
animals on Earth. Within dipterans, Schizophora represents a recent radiation of insects that …
