Diversity, form, and postembryonic development of Paleozoic insects
While Mesozoic, Paleogene, and Neogene insect faunas greatly resemble the modern one,
the Paleozoic fauna provides unique insights into key innovations in insect evolution, such …

An integrative phylogenomic approach to elucidate the evolutionary history and divergence times of Neuropterida (Insecta: Holometabola)
Background The latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies have facilitated the
resolution of the phylogeny of insects, yet parts of the tree of Holometabola remain …

Wing tracheation in Chrysopidae and other Neuropterida (Insecta): a resolution of the confusion about vein fusion
The wings of insects are one of their most prominent features and embody numerous
characters and modifications congruent with the variety of their lifestyles. However, despite …

Owlflies are derived antlions: anchored phylogenomics supports a new phylogeny and classification of Myrmeleontidae (Neuroptera)
The first phylogenomic analysis of the antlions is presented, based on 325 genes captured
using anchored hybrid enrichment. A concatenated matrix including 207 species of …

Diverse Cretaceous larvae reveal the evolutionary and behavioural history of antlions and lacewings
Myrmeleontiformia are an ancient group of lacewing insects characterized by predatory
larvae with unusual morphologies and behaviours. Mostly soil dwellers with a soft cuticle …

Quantitative analysis of lacewing larvae over more than 100 million years reveals a complex pattern of loss of morphological diversity
Loss of biodiversity and especially insect decline are widely recognised in modern
ecosystems. This decline has an enormous impact due to the crucial ecological roles of …

The morphological diversity of long-necked lacewing larvae (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontiformia).
Thread-winged lacewings (Crocinae) nowadays occur in Africa, South America, Australia
and the southern part of Eurasia. They have very distinct larvae, roughly resembling antlion …

X‐ray microtomography and phylogenomics provide insights into the morphology and evolution of an enigmatic Mesozoic insect larva
Fossils sometimes show unusual morphological features absent in living organisms, making
it difficult to reconstruct both their affinity and their function. We describe here a new …
