Evolutionary history of the Hymenoptera
Summary Hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants, and bees) are one of four mega-diverse
insect orders, comprising more than 153,000 described and possibly up to one million …

Evolutionary history of Coleoptera revealed by extensive sampling of genes and species
Beetles (Coleoptera) are the most diverse and species-rich group of insects, and a robust,
time-calibrated phylogeny is fundamental to understanding macroevolutionary processes …

The beetle tree of life reveals that C oleoptera survived end‐P ermian mass extinction to diversify during the C retaceous terrestrial revolution
Here we present a phylogeny of beetles (I nsecta: C oleoptera) based on DNA sequence
data from eight nuclear genes, including six single‐copy nuclear protein‐coding genes, for …

Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution
Insects are the most speciose group of animals, but the phylogenetic relationships of many
major lineages remain unresolved. We inferred the phylogeny of insects from 1478 protein …
